Magnitude 6.9 earthquake shakes southern Japan, tsunami warning issued
Updated 10:35 AM Feb 27, 2010
TOKYO (AP) - A powerful earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.9 rocked Japan's southern islands, injuring two and prompting fears of a tsunami.
There were no reports of serious damage from the quake, believed to be the strongest in a century to hit Japan's southern Okinawa Island. Japan's Kyodo news agency said two people were hurt, but there were no reports of any deaths.
The Meteorological Agency says the quake occurred off the coast of the island of Okinawa at a depth of 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) at 5:31 a.m. Saturday (2031 GMT Friday).
The Meteorological Agency had initially predicted a tsunami up to 6 feet (2 meters) near the Okinawan coast and warned nearby residents to stay away from the coastline. The agency lifted the warning within two hours.
