A slew of strong earthquakes off the coast of Japan have caused tsunami alerts to be issued throughout Asia.

Japan lowered its tsunami alert after a series of major earthquakes, but told residents of coastal areas not to return to their homes as deadly waves could still come. The largest quake had a magnitude of 7.6, and it started a fire. South Korea's Gangwon province warned residents to take precautions and evacuate to higher grounds after the earthquake in Japan triggered tsunami warnings. The city of Samcheok advised residents to move to areas higher than a three-storey building.
