A preliminary magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck Japan's northeastern region on Friday at 11:44 a.m. (0244 GMT), prompting the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) to issue a tsunami advisory for waves expected to be up to 1 meter (39 inches) high.

Magnitude: 6.7 (Preliminary) Time: 11:44 a.m. JST (0244 GMT) Friday, Location: Off the coast of Aomori prefecture, Depth: 20 km (12 miles) The tremor registered 4 on Japan's 1-7 seismic intensity scale.
