The 7.4 magnitude quake hit about the same location and depth as the 9.0 magnitude earthquake that hit last month, says Paul Caruso, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo.
A tsunami warning has been issued. Waves up to 6 feet are expected. Japan's NHK broadcaster has asked residents on the coastline to evacuate to higher ground.
