Japan's Coastal Alarm: 7.6 Quake Triggers Tsunami Warnings| USGS

Japan faced a seismic ordeal as a powerful 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck, triggering tsunami warnings along its western coast.

While waves over a meter high hit some areas initially, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center later stated that the tsunami threat had largely passed.

Urgent advisories urged residents in affected areas, including Ishikawa prefecture, to seek higher ground.

The earthquake's impact was perceptible in Tokyo, but there were no immediate reports of damage.

Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority assessed nearby nuclear power plants for any potential risks.
