TOKYO: Japan forecast a slight change in sea degree on Tuesday after a magnitude 6 earthquake struck the Bonin Islands, far to the southeast of the nation’s primary islands.
The quake was at a depth of 40 km (25 miles), the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre stated.
The Japan meteorological company issued a “tsunami forecast” – an advisory that suggests solely a small change in sea degree – for a string of distant islands together with Chichijima, which is without doubt one of the Bonin Islands.
