TOKYO - A strong quake hit near Sakhalin island in Russia’s Far East, reportedly killing one person and triggering small tsunami waves.
The temblor, with a preliminary magnitude of 6.4, struck at 11:38 a.m. (10:38 p.m. EDT) near southern Sakhalin, according to Japan’s Meteorological Agency. One person was killed, the Russian news service Interfax reported.
Tsunami waves of about 8 inches hit the coastal town of Rumoi on Japan’s northernmost island of Hokkaido shortly after 1 p.m., the agency said.
Waves up to 20 inches could hit elsewhere on Hokkaido’s western coast, the agency warned.
