A 6.6-magnitude earthquake struck south of Japan's Izu Islands during the early hours of Thursday, triggering a tsunami warning issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency.

The earthquake occurred at 11:00 a.m. local time (02:00 GMT) near Tori-shima island, situated to the south of Japan's Izu Islands. The epicenter of the earthquake was recorded at a depth of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles).

Meteorologists anticipated tsunami waves reaching up to 1 meter high (3.3 feet) and cautioned that even such relatively modest waves could pose a threat to individuals.
