The Meteorological Agency has issued a tsunami advisory for the Pacific coast of the Japanese archipelago and the island groups of Okinawa and Amami in southwestern Japan.

The advisory was issued at 2:41 PM local time on Wednesday following a magnitude 8.0 earthquake that struck the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific earlier in the day.

The agency said waves as high as 50 centimeters may hit areas along the Pacific coast. It said the tsunami could hit the Ogasawara Islands, south of Tokyo, at around 4:30 PM.

The agency warns that the time is just a rough estimate, and advised people in the relevant locations to avoid coastal areas and the mouths of rivers.

A tsunami nearly one meter high has been observed in the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, about 30 minutes after the area was struck by a magnitude 8.0 earthquake.

Tsunami warnings issued for several coastal regions in the Pacific were lifted later.

The US Geological Survey said the quake occurred shortly past noon on Wednesday, local time.

The epicenter was 80 kilometers west of Nendo Island.
The focus of the quake was estimated to be about 28.7 kilometers deep.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii issued a tsunami warning for other countries in the Pacific, including Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and Fiji, but lifted the warning about 3 hours later.
It said a 91-centimeter tsunami was observed on Nendo Island at about 12:30 p.m. local time and a 11-centimeter tsunami on Espiritu Santo Island in Vanuatu at about 13:40 p.m. local time.

A Japanese Embassy official in Honiara, the capital of the Solomon Islands, said he heard that a domestic airport in Lata on Nendo Island was flooded by the tsunami.

The Solomon Islands are northeast of Australia in an island-studded region.

Meanwhile, Japan's Meteorological Agency said tsunami may hit the Pacific coasts of Japan later on Wednesday.

It said it will issue advisories or related information 2 hours before the estimated time of arrival.
