JAKARTA - Hundreds of thousands of Japanese citizens were advised to evacuate on Sunday, 16 as waves of more than one meter hit the coastal area, according to a report by Japan's national broadcaster NHK.
The incident was caused by the eruption of an underwater volcano off the coast of Tonga that triggered a tsunami warning.
About 230.000 people were advised to evacuate in six prefectures due to the tsunami risk, NHK reported.
