BBC News 1 JAN 2024

Japan has urged residents to "evacuate immediately" after a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the central region.

A devastating earthquake hit central Japan today with a preliminary magnitude of 7.6, prompting mass evacuations along much of the country's coastline amid fears of a powerful tsunami.

A total of 21 quakes above 4.0 magnitude rang out shortly after 4pm local time (7am UK time), and the first tsunami waves more than a metre high have already begun lashing the north coast of central Japan.

The country's meteorological agency reported the first big waves hit Wajima port in Ishikawa prefecture at 4:21pm local time just as darkness fell on the region, with many more expected in the coming minutes and hours.

Japan is now bracing for waves of up to 5 metres (16.4ft) to hit later today.

A major tsunami warning was issued for Ishikawa as well as lower-level tsunami alerts or advisories for the rest of the western coast of the island of Honshu, as Japanese public broadcaster NHK TV urged people to flee to high land or to the top of nearby buildings.

'We realise your home, your belongings are all precious to you, but your lives are important above everything else. Run to the highest ground possible,' a presenter on broadcaster NHK told viewers.

The tsunami waves could keep returning, according to the network, as warnings continued to be aired nearly an hour after the initial alert.

Russias' emergencies ministry said that parts of the western coast Sakhalin island, situated close to Japan on Russia's Pacific seaboard, were also under threat of tsunami, and that the local population was being evacuated, state news agency TASS reported.
