Key information extracted from original GTS message :

Evaluation

There is a very small possibility of a destructive local TSUNAMI estimation at the forecast points - no tsunamis with amplitude of 0.5 meter or over are expected at any of them
However at some coasts particularly those near the epicenter higher tsunamis MAY arrive than our estimation authorities should be aware of this possibility
This will be the final bulletin unless there are changes about the potential of TSUNAMI generation by re-evaluation of the earthquake or there are reports on TSUNAMI observations
