Japan earthquake death toll reaches 25
Southern Japan experienced a 7.1 magnitude earthquake that destroyed homes and caused roads to crack in Yatsushiro City. The quake resulted in at least 25 fatalities and caused significant damage to a paper factory and a shopping center due to a gas explosion. Many homes, approximately 58,000 in total, remain without water and electricity two days after the disaster, with long-term repairs to the water supply network expected. Relief efforts continue as officials warn of rising temperatures reaching around 40°C, despite the Self-Defense Forces being deployed to supply water to shelters and provide assistance. The earthquake is expected to impact the economic situation, as major brands have temporarily halted their manufacturing operations amid difficulties in estimating the extent of damages and the future impact on Japan’s economy.
