The Japanese weather agency said that a 50-centimetre tsunami struck an island south of Tokyo on Tuesday following a magnitude 5.9 earthquake, according to local media.

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) had issued a tsunami advisory for the Izu and Ogasawara islands shortly after the tremor but lifted it by 11 a.m. (local time), stating that tsunami activity had sufficiently subsided, reports.

However, minor sea level fluctuations may persist for about half a day.

At 8:58 a.m. (local time), the 50-cm tsunami was recorded at Hachijo Island, approximately 180 kilometres north of the quake's epicentre. A smaller, 10-cm tsunami was detected at Miyake Island.

Six wagons of an empty goods train derailed near New Maynaguri station in West Bengal's Alipurduar district on Tuesday morning.

No casualties were reported during the incident.

After the derailment, no disruption in railway services was reported.

The US Department of Commerce has proposed a rule to prohibit the import or sale of connected vehicles integrating certain software and hardware with a "nexus" to China or Russia, citing national security concerns.

The department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a notice of the proposed rule amid concerns that those cars with cameras, sensors, software and other components -- manufactured in China -- could be used to glean sensitive data about drivers and passengers, as well as U.S. infrastructure.

The rule is expected to lead South Korean automakers to readjust their supply chains if they have used prohibited software and components from China. But the measure would make it difficult for their potential Chinese competitors to enter the U.S. market, observers said, reports news agency.
