Earthquake sparks Japan tsunami warning

A 7.3 magnitude earthquake off eastern Japan near Fukushima prefecture has prompted a tsunami warning of possible 3m (10ft) waves.

The quake struck on Tuesday morning at about 06:00 local time (21:00 GMT, Monday), the Japan Meteorological Agency said.

The depth of the earthquake was estimated to be 10km (6 miles).

In 2011, a large tsunami caused by an earthquake destroyed the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
