Atleast two people have died and 160 injured following a strong earthquake in Japan.
According to multiple sources, two million homes initially lost power and a bullet train was derailed, but none of its passengers were hurt.
The earthquake cames days after Japan Meteorological Agency lifted a tsunami warning.
The quake took place at 23:36 on Wednesday (14:36 GMT), at a depth of 57 kilometres (35.4 miles), Japanese authorities said.
They warned of possible aftershocks in Fukushima, Miyagi and Yamagata prefectures.
Immediately after the event, Japan’s meteorological agency issued an advisory for tsunami waves of one metre (3.3ft) for parts of the north-east coast, but it was withdrawn on Thursday morning after waves one-third of that height reached shore.
