Japan Decreases Level of Tsunami Threat Amid Earthquake
​Earlier in the day, a chemical plant of the Kureha company caught fire following the earthquake. The scale of damages remains unknown.

The powerful earthquake hit the eastern part of the country's coast near the province of Fukushima causing 1.4-meter (4.5-feet) tsunami waves.

Japan is a seismically active region. In March 2011, a 9.0-magnitude offshore earthquake triggered a 46-foot tsunami that hit Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant (NPP), leading to the leakage of radioactive materials and the shutdown of the plant.
