Japan lifts tsunami advisory for coastal areas

Japan issued a tsunami advisory for some coastal regions early Monday following a series of shallow quakes in the Izu islands in the Pacific Ocean but it was later lifted after no damage was reported from the minor waves generated. Some regions urged residents in coastal areas to evacuate after the advisory, but the JMA said no damage has been reported and lifted the alert several hours later.
