Japan tells residents to evacuate after 7.6 earthquake. The strong earthquake that struck central Japan caused buildings to collapse, tens of thousands of houses to lose electricity, and those living in coastal areas to evacuate for higher ground.
Japan advises locals to flee. Larger waves may follow the initial 1-meter (3-foot) waves that the 7.6-magnitude earthquake caused on Monday near South Korea’s border and Japan’s west coast. Electricity is out for more than 30,000 households, government spokesman Yoshimasa Hayashi reported.
North Korea and Russia have also issued tsunami warnings for specific regions.

According to Yoshimasa Hayashi, a spokesman for the Japanese government, the earthquake caused numerous houses to collapse and started fires. Army forces have been sent to assist with rescue efforts while authorities continue to evaluate the damage.
At least six to ten persons have been confirmed by the government to be trapped within buildings, but [the total] may be much more given that the administration is often very cautious about these figures before making public announcements.
