Based on preliminary depth of 60 km and mechanism, M7.3 earthquake near Japan possibly occurred within the subducting slab https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000h519/executive
If this preliminary depth of 60 km is confirmed, the potential for this earthquake near Japan to generate a significant tsunami is likely limited.
