TOKYO - A TSUNAMI warning was issued for Japan, Russia and the Mariana Islands 
Friday after a 8.9-magnitude quake struck off Japan,  the Pacific Tsunami 
Warning Center said. 

'An  earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive  
tsunami that can strike coastlines near the epicentre within  minutes and more 
distant coastlines within hours,' the centre said in a  statement. 

It also put the territories of Guam, Taiwan, the Philippines, the Marshall 
Islands, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Nauru, Micronesia and Hawaii under a 
lower 
tsunami watch. 

The Philippine government's seismology agency said warned people living on the 
east coast to be on alert for the possibility of tsunamis.
'There  is no evacuation order but people living along the entire length of the 
 
country's east coast should be on alert and await further  instructions,' the 
agency's chief Renato Solidum said in a nationwide  radio broadcast.
Indonesia too issued an alert, warning people living on its eastern parts 
including Papua, Maluku and North Sulawesi to be on guard  for tsunamis. -- AFP
