A tsunami warning has been issued for parts of Japan after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck off its south-western coast.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said waves of up to one metre (3ft) could hit the western coast of Kagoshima prefecture and Satsunan islands.

It said the quake happened at the depth of about 10km (six miles).

The US Geological Survey said the tremor struck some 159km south-west of the town of Makurazaki.

"Get out of the water and leave the coast immediately," the JMA's warning said.

"As the strong current will continue, do not get in the sea or approach coasts until the advisory is cleared," it added.

In 2011, a massive earthquake caused a tsunami that left more than 18,000 people dead or missing in north-eastern Japan.

Some 230,000 people have yet to return to their home towns since the disaster.

 
Today truly is a very bad day, Friday the 13th couldn't be more unlucky.

Praying the tsunami doesn't happen. I remember how bad it was last time. I still have my #PrayForJapan bracelet too.

UPDATE:

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said a 30cm (1ft) tsunami was registered on the southern Nakanoshima island, part of Kagoshima prefecture.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

 

Great news that the tsunami hasn't done much, but it's still possible there's been damage from the earthquake itself as 7.0 is quite strong.

At least it isn't that severe an earthquake. Magnitude 7 in a first world country prone to earthquakes should be fine. The 2011 Japanese earthquake was magnitude 9.0
