A tsunami warning was issued and people and residents were urged to flee the Fukushima coast.

An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.3 hit northern Japan Tuesday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said, issuing tsunami advisories for much of the nation's northern Pacific coast.

The epicenter of the earthquake, which was felt in Tokyo, was off the coast of Fukushima prefecture at a depth of about 10 km, the agency said.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injury.

More to come.
