New Zealand cancels Tsunami warning

Wellington, Mar. 12 (ANI): New Zealand's tsunami warning prompted by the Japanese quake-generated tsunami has been cancelled.

A Civil Defence spokesman said that, according to scientific advice, no further tsunami threat existed for New Zealand coastlines.

"Nonetheless, minor fluctuations in sea level may continue for up to 48 hours and caution is required on beaches and in marine environments," the New Zealand Herald quoted the spokesman, as saying. (ANI)
