TOKYO, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) -- The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) lifted the tsunami advisory for the Izu and Ogasawara Islands at 11:00 a.m. local time Tuesday after several areas saw wave heights milder than previous forecast.
The agency warned that slight tidal changes could still be observed along the Pacific coast, but there is no concern about tsunami-related damage.
A tsunami advisory that urged residents to stay away from the coastline was triggered after a 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck off Japanese islands on Tuesday morning.
The quake, which took place at 8:14 local time, was centered in adjacent sea of Torishima Islands at a depth of 10 km, but no seismic intensity of 1 or above was recorded, according to the weather agency. ■
