Japan Lifts Tsunami Advisory after Earthquake Rattles Northeast

Japan lifted a tsunami advisory after a 6.7 magnitude earthquake struck northeast Honshu. Occurring off Aomori's coast, the quake caused no major damage or injuries. Previously, a 7.5 magnitude quake injured 34 and prompted tsunami alerts. Officials caution possible aftershocks and an increased risk of a significant quake.

Japan's Meteorological Agency lifted a tsunami advisory after a 6.7 magnitude earthquake shook the northeast. The tremor struck off Aomori's coast, occurring at a depth of 20 kilometers.

This earthquake arrives in the wake of a stronger 7.5 magnitude quake earlier this week that led to injuries and minor damage. Authorities reported 34 injuries and a minor tsunami in Iwate prefecture.

In light of these events, officials warned of potential aftershocks and a heightened risk of a larger earthquake along Japan's northeastern coast. They urged local communities to stay vigilant.
