A powerful series of earthquakes, including a magnitude 6.9 tremor off the northern coast of Japan, has recently sparked tsunami advisories, particularly for the Iwate prefecture. Initial alerts were issued following strong quakes, with some advisories being lifted after a few hours. The Japan Meteorological Agency confirmed that smaller tsunamis were observed in the aftermath, but no significant damages have been reported. Residents and tourists were urged to evacuate as a precaution during the tsunami warnings, though the threat has since passed.
