Japan has downgraded its tsunami warning after a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the central region.

The major warning - the first in Japan since the 2011 earthquake - was issued for the Noto area. 

Tsunami warnings also remain in place for the neighbouring Niigata and Toyama prefectures.

A succession of more than 30 earthquakes have struck central Japan since about 16:00 local time (07:00 GMT), with more expected to follow.
