A tsunami hit the coast of Japan after a volcanic eruption that occurred in the Kingdom of Tonga. Wave heights on the Amami and Tokara island groups could reach up to three meters, the Japan Times reported.

Waves made landfall minutes after a tsunami warning was issued from east Honshu to Okinawa. For the entire Pacific coast of the country and some areas overlooking the Sea of ​​Japan, a less severe warning was in effect.

Earlier it was reported that the threat of a tsunami was announced in the Kuril Islands after the eruption of an underwater volcano near the islands of Tonga.

King Aho-Eitu Tupou VI of Tongo was evacuated from his palace due to the eruption of the Hunga Ha'apai volcano, as well as the tsunami that hit the capital Nuku'alofa.
