The Japanese authorities have issued a new warning Monday of a tsunami with waves up to three feet for the entire Pacific coast, according to Kyodo news agency. On Monday, an aftershock measuring 6.2 magnitude on the Richter scale has rocked the Ibaraki prefecture, located on the east coast of Japan, without any reported injury, as reported by the Japan Meteorological Agency.
The epicenter was located about 10 kilometers deep in the Pacific Ocean, like the earthquake of 8.9 degrees on Friday rocked the northeastern coast of the country, collects news agency Kyodo. On the Japanese scale of 7, which focuses more on the scope than the intensity of the quake, the replica had a magnitude of 5.
The northeastern part of Japan has suffered nearly 300 aftershocks from Friday's devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami, which caused at least 1,647 dead, although the figure is feared to rise. Japanese seismologists have warned that aftershocks will continue for a week, with a 70% chance until Wednesday, an earthquake of up to 7 on the Richter scale.
The director of the Japan Meteorological Agency, Takashi Yokota, said Sunday that within three days that risk is reduced to 50% on the coast of Ibaraki and Miyagi provinces.
