A magnitude 6.8 earthquake has hit off northwestern Japan, with a tsunami warning issued according to Associated Press.
The nation’s meteorological agency warned that a wave of one metre (three feet) could hit the coast of the Sea of Japan, north of Tokyo, but only small ripples of 10 centimetres were recorded.
The agency cancelled the tsunami advisory around two and a half hours after the quake.
There were no reports of major damage or injuries.
