Officials have ordered some 245,000 households along Japan's Pacific coast to evacuate after one of the world's most powerful earthquakes in a century battered Chile yesterday, killing more than 300 people.

In Russia also tsunami waves of up to 0.8 meters hit the Kachattka Peninsula.<br/><br/> Russia issued a similar warning and launched an evacuation in its Pacific peninsula of Kamchatka.
