LONDON - Japan issues tsunami warning after 7.3 magnitude quake off Fukushima. Japan has issued a series of tsunami warnings along its north-eastern Pacific
coast after an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.3 struck offshore early on Tuesday morning. The tsunami warnings were broadcast on the emergency channel and called for residents to “flee the coast immediately”, to move to higher ground or tall buildings, and to “not be complacent”.
The strongest tsunami waves are predicted to hit the seaboard of Fukushima — the prefecture whose nuclear power plant was engulfed by the 2011 tsunami, triggering a meltdown and one of the world’s worst nuclear disasters. Financial Times
