Japan braced for second large earthquake
Japan has been hit by an earthquake off the coast of Fukushima, which was devastated by a tsunami triggered by a 9.0 quake five years ago.
Tsunami warnings were issued following this latest earthquake, which was a 7.4, but these have since been removed. However, the Japan Meteorological Agency is warning that another large quake is expected within the next few days and people in the region have been advised to ‘remain cautious’.
The quake happened at 5.59am local time (8.59pm GMT on Monday), and waves at Sendai port were reached 1.4 metres. Flights to Sendai airport have been disrupted.
Several people are reported to have suffered minor injuries, but no deaths have been recorded.
