TOKYO — A magnitude-6.7 earthquake rattled northeast Japan early today in the same area where a massive quake triggered a deadly tsunami in March, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami warning for the region after the quake but canceled it about an hour later.
The temblor struck the region of the Pacific where a magnitude-9.0 quake hit on March 11, triggering a huge tsunami. At least 23,000 people were killed or left missing.
Today’s quake hit about 30 miles off the shore of Iwate prefecture at 6:51 a.m., the Japan Meteorological Agency said. At 19.9 miles deep, it caused tremors across the northern half of the country, including Tokyo.
