New Japan earthquake - tsunami alert triggered

An earthquake of about magnitude 7.1 has hit Japan - in the same area devastated by a quake four months ago - and triggered a tsunami alert.

Fortunately, it generated only a small wave of about 10cm.

The quake epicentre was near where the magnitude 9.0 quake hit and killed thousands of people on March 11.
