Yomiuri/An underwater volcanic eruption may have occurred near Iwoto island, the Japan Meteorological Agency has said.
The Maritime Self-Defense Force confirmed a change in the color of the water northeast of Iwoto--about 1,250 kilometers south of Tokyo--at about 3:40 p.m. on Sunday after volcanic tremors--lasting about half an hour--were observed in the early morning on the island, according to the agency.
