Japan has issued a tsunami alert following a 6.7 magnitude earthquake that occurred in the northeast of the country, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. The earthquake struck off the coast of Aomori Prefecture at a depth of 20 km at 11:44 local time. It is estimated that a tsunami of up to 1 meter could occur along the Pacific coast of Hokkaido, Aomori, Iwate, and Miyagi prefectures. So far, details about damage and injuries are unclear. Previously, Japan warned of possible aftershocks following a 7.5 magnitude earthquake that affected the same area. The earthquake on Monday evening injured at least 51 people and generated tsunami alerts, with waves of up to 70 cm reported in several coastal communities. On Tuesday, the meteorological agency issued a maximum level alert, warning that a mega-earthquake, with a magnitude of 8 or greater, could follow. This alert is the first of its kind issued since the warning system was introduced in 2022 and will remain in effect until December 16.
