Japan: A powerful earthquake, registering a preliminary magnitude of 7.6, struck north-central Japan on Monday, leading to heightened concerns about potential tsunamis along the coastal regions of Ishikawa, Niigata, and Toyama prefectures.
The Japan Meteorological Agency promptly issued a tsunami warning following a series of robust earthquakes that rattled western areas. Notably, a major tsunami warning was specifically directed at the coastal Noto area in Ishikawa, cautioning residents about the possibility of waves surging as high as 5 meters (16 feet).
Subsequent evaluations and assessments led to the revision of the tsunami warning to a lower level, indicating that waves could potentially reach heights of 3 meters. The downgraded warning, while reducing the immediate threat, urged continued vigilance along the affected coastal regions.
