Japan has issued a tsunami advisory for the Fukushima area - where the crippled nuclear plant is located - after a powerful quake in the Pacific Ocean.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said a small tsunami - up to one metre (3.3ft) - could reach the eastern coast, but no damage was expected.

It said the 6.8 magnitude quake struck at a depth of 10km (six miles), about 320km off Japan's eastern coast.

The US Geological Survey said it was a 7.3 magnitude earthquake.
