An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 has triggered tsunami warnings across Japan.
The quake, which was felt in Tokyo, was centred 67 km northeast of Iwaki off the coast of Fukushima.

According to public broadcaster NHK, the Tokyo Electric Power Co said there was no damage to any of its power plants.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injury.
