Japan Downgrades Tsunami Alert After Major Quake

Japan has downgraded its last remaining tsunami alert, providing a brief respite for residents in the northern part of the country.

Despite this, tsunami advisories remain in effect for Japan's Pacific coastline, as authorities continue to monitor potential aftershocks following the powerful earthquake that hit on Wednesday.

The earthquake, which disrupted life across the region, has left many on edge as cleanup and recovery efforts begin.
