A 5.6-magnitude earthquake struck near Japan's Izu Islands on Tuesday, the USGS said, triggering local weather authorities to issue a tsunami warning for the remote Pacific area off Tokyo.

The Japanese weather agency said that a 50-centimetre tsunami struck an island south of Tokyo, following a magnitude 5.9 earthquake

Tsunamis of up to 1 metre were expected to arrive around 9 am in the Ogasawara Islands, and Izu Islands. Due to this, residents were advised to stay away from coasts and the mouths of rivers.

A large earthquake has struck off the coast of Japan, with a tsunami warning issued for the Izu Islands, south of Tokyo, and the Ogasawara island chain after the 5.9 magnitude quake

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, a tsunami of 50 cm (1.6 feet) entered Hachijo island, one of the Izu islands, around 40 minutes after the earthquake. 

Japan was issued a scary tsunami warning after an earthquake at sea - the Japan Meteorological Agency said a magnitude 5.9 quake hit off the Izu Islands and tsunami waves up to one metre above tide levels could occur

A 6.1-magnitude earthquake rocked Indonesia's Gorontalo province earlier on Tuesday without triggering large waves, the country's meteorology, climatology and geophysics agency said.
