Japan issues new tsunami advisory after earthquake

(CNN) -- Authorities issued a tsunami advisory Monday morning for coastal areas of Miyagi Prefecture in northeastern Japan after a 6.5-magnitude quake struck the region, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
The agency said the tsunami height was expected to be about 0.5 meters, or 1.6 feet, tall. Japanese broadcaster NHK reported that the tsunami was believed to have passed. Video of the coastal area in the tsunami zone broadcast by NHK showed slight ripples to the water, which "could be indicative of rises" in water levels, CNN meteorologist Jacqui Jeras said.
The Monday temblor was located near the site of the 9.0-magnitude March 11 earthquake that triggered a massive tsunami, killing thousands and spawning a nuclear emergency at a severely damaged power plant in Fukushima Prefecture.
The 7:24 a.m. earthquake struck Monday about 70 miles east of Sendai at a depth of 3.7 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
A Pacific-wide destructive tsunami is not expected, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.
