Beirut: Japan's weather office on Thursday lifted a tsunami advisory imposed a day earlier after one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded, off Russia's Far East. 'There is currently no coastal area for which tsunami warnings or advisories are in force,' the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said on its website.
According to National News Agency - Lebanon, the advisory followed a significant seismic event near Russia's eastern region, raising concerns over potential tsunami impacts on Japan's coastal areas. The JMA initially issued the advisory as a precautionary measure, reflecting the magnitude of the earthquake and its proximity to Japan.
The decision to lift the advisory came after thorough assessments and monitoring of sea levels, which indicated no immediate threat to Japan's coastlines. The JMA continues to monitor seismic activity in the region to ensure public safety and readiness for any future events.
