Tsunami warning issued for Japan

A tsunami is expected to hit the north and east coasts of Japan, the country's meteorological agency says.

The agency says the tsumami will be at least two metres (6.5 feet) high and could hit Hokkaido and Honshu islands after 1210 GMT.

Warnings are being broadcast on all TV channels and radio stations advising people to move to higher ground.

It comes after an earthquake of at least 7.7 magnitude hit the Kuril Islands, north of Japan.

The earthquake struck about 390km (240 miles) east of the Etorofu islands, at 1115 GMT, the meteorological agency said.

Other smaller waves may batter the Pacific coast of Japan over the next hour, the agency said.
