TOKYO, Japan – Japan’s northeastern coast has been rattled by a strong aftershock, Thursday.
The country’s meteorological agency issued a tsunami warning for a wave of up to one meter. The warning was issued for a coastal area already ravaged by last month’s tsunami.
Officials said the quake was a 7.1-magnitude and hit 40 kilometres under the water and off the coast of Miyagi prefecture.
The quake that preceded last month’s tsunami was a 9.0-magnitude.
Buildings as far away as Tokyo shook for about a minute.
