An earthquake has struck off the east coast of Japan, recorded at above magnitude 7, which has resulted in a tsunami alert and the evacuation of the Fukushima nuclear plant.
Residents of Kamaishi and Iwate have also been ordered to evacuate, although no damage has been reported and readings of nuclear stations in the area show no irregularities.
The area is still in shock from the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami which caused devastation in March. Early reports indicate that the latest one, recorded in the early hours of Sunday, is not particularly threatening.
