TOKYO - A TSUNAMI warning was issued for Japan, Russia and the Mariana Islands
Friday after a 8.9-magnitude quake struck off Japan, the Pacific Tsunami
Warning Center said.
'An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive
tsunami that can strike coastlines near the epicentre within minutes and more
distant coastlines within hours,' the centre said in a statement.
It also put the territories of Guam, Taiwan, the Philippines, the Marshall
Islands, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Nauru, Micronesia and Hawaii under a
lower
tsunami watch.
The Philippine government's seismology agency said warned people living on the
east coast to be on alert for the possibility of tsunamis.
'There is no evacuation order but people living along the entire length of the
country's east coast should be on alert and await further instructions,' the
agency's chief Renato Solidum said in a nationwide radio broadcast.
Indonesia too issued an alert, warning people living on its eastern parts
including Papua, Maluku and North Sulawesi to be on guard for tsunamis. -- AFP
