Earthquake in Japan:Magnitude-7.3

A one-metre-high tsunami has hit Japan's northeast coast, the country's meteorological agency says.

The wave was recorded in Ishinomaki, a city in Miyagi prefecture that was badly hit by the tsunami of March 2011, which killed thousands.

A magnitude-7.3 earthquake struck north-eastern Japan earlier on Friday, and the meteorological agency had issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas.

No damage or injuries were immediately reported from the 5:18 pm (7:18 AEDT) quake, which was centred off the prefecture at a depth of 10 kilometres, the agency said.
