TOKYO - A powerful magnitude-6.8 earthquake hit northern Japan on Tuesday, triggering a tsunami warning for a stretch of the country’s Pacific coast and shaking buildings nearly 200 miles away in Tokyo, the nation’s Meteorological Agency said.
Many people were reported injured in the coastal city of Sendai, Kyodo News Agency said, but national broadcaster NHK reported, citing city officials, only objects falling from bookshelves and no major damage.
