JMA Issues Tsunami Warning: Pacific Coast Braces for Potentially Destructive Waves
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued a tsunami warning and advisory for the Pacific coast of Japan, stretching from Hokkaido to Okinawa, following an earthquake. Initially, a tsunami advisory was issued, but the alert level was raised, with the estimated maximum wave height now predicted to reach 3 meters. This change in alert was prompted by an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 8.7 that occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula.
