A tsunami advisory is in effect for some coastal areas in Japan after a 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the northeast coast on Friday.

The advisory affects Japan's Iwate, Miyagi & Fukushima Prefectures.

The earthquake occurred just off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture at 4:22 local time, and was felt as far away as Tokyo.

The coastal region near Friday's quake is the same that was hit hard by the March 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster.
