A magnitude-7.1 aftershock has rattled Japan on the one-month anniversary of a massive earthquake that spawned a deadly tsunami.
The epicentre is close to the nuclear plant crippled by the tsunami a month ago. The US geological survey said the 7.1 magnitude onshore quake hit with a depth of just 10 kilometres, its epicentre 86 kilometres South / South-East of Fukushima city.
Japan's meteorological agency issued a tsunami warning saying a one-metre wave could hit Ibaraki prefecture, the area worst hit by last month's massive tsunami.
A wave half a metre high was expected in Fukushima prefecture. Narita airport temporarily closed a runway following the quake for safety checks. Another 7.1 aftershock had shook the northeast coast last week.
There was no tsunami after that quake. People at a large electronics store in central Sendai screamed and ran outside, though the shaking made it hard to move around. Mothers grabbed their children, and windows shook. After a minute or two, people returned to the store.
