Japan has warned of waves as high as three metres, and waves of 1.2 metres hit the south of the country.

The huge underwater volcanic eruption near Tonga caused waves of more than a metre to crash into the shoreline.

The eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcano was heard across the South Pacific, with nearby countries put on notice.

The extent of any injuries or damage is still unclear.

Video footage shows water washing through a church and several homes.
