7.1 magnitude earthquake strikes southern Japan, tsunami warning issued

A 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck off the eastern coast of Japan's southern main island of Kyushu, with a depth of approximately 30km. The quake was followed by a second tremor, with a depth of 26 meters, and triggered tsunami waves of up to 50 centimeters. A tsunami advisory was issued for the south and east coasts, with reports of broken windows at Miyazaki Airport near the epicentre. Authorities have also issued a warning about an increased risk of a "major earthquake" due to the location of the epicentre, which is near the Nankai Trough, a region prone to significant earthquakes that have caused thousands of deaths in the past.
