Japan issued a tsunami warning Thursday after a magnitude-6.7 earthquake struck in the northeast of the country, rattling the areas hardest hit by the March 11 quake and tsunami disasters.
But the meteorological agency lifted the warning about an hour after the latest jolt hit at 6:51 am (2151 GMT Wednesday) some 50 kilometers (31 miles) off the east coast of Miyako, Iwate prefecture, at a depth of 20 kilometers in the Pacific.
USGS also registered the quake at 6.7 in magnitude at a depth of 32 kilometers.
