[A strong earthquake has hit areas of Japan
devastated by the tsunami 10 years ago,
that saw thousands lose their lives.
The quake hit the coast about
250 miles (400km) north of Tokyo
some time after 6pm local time (9am UK) and had
a magnitude of 7, the USGS said. Japan's
Meteorological Agency said the
quake was 7.2 in magnitude.
There were warnings it had generated
a one metre-high tsunami and people
have been told not to go near the shore.
Officials there said there were
no
immediate reports of major damage.
It came as Japan announced it was banning
foreign visitors from the Olympics
due to the risks of COVID-19.]
So far OK there
