Powerful Earthquake Hits Fukushima, Japan; Tsunami Warning

TOKYO -- A 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit Japan's northern coast near the nuclear power plant crippled in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The earthquake early Saturday triggered a small tsunami.
Japan's Meteorological Agency said the quake struck 6 miles below the sea surface off the coast of Fukushima, northeast of Tokyo.
A 20-centimeter tsunami reached the coast of Ishinomaki Ayukawa about 50 minutes after the quake. Smaller waves were observed at two other locations along the coast.
Changes to the shoreline, however, were not visible on television footages of NHK public broadcaster.
The agency issued tsunami advisory of up to 1 meter in Fukushima, Miyagi and Iwate prefectures along the Japanese northern coast.
