Japan to lift 'megaquake' warning Thursday if no more seismic activity

The disaster minister said that Japan will lift its week-old "megaquake" warning late Thursday if there is no further seismic activity.

"If no particular change in seismic activity or crustal deformation is observed, at 17:00 (0800 GMT) today, the government will end the special call for attention," said Yoshifumi Matsumura, minister of state for disaster management.
