From Reuters,
Japan's Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami warning in northeast Japan on Saturday after an strong earthquake struck off the east coast of Honshu.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the 7.0 magnitude tremor struck beneath the north Pacific Ocean, 77 miles (123 km) east northeast of Iwaki, Japan at 0239 GMT at a depth of 25 miles (40 km).
