Japan earthquake survivor search continues
A 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck Kyushu Island in Japan, resulting in the deaths of 13 people, building destruction, fires breaking out, and dozens of injuries. The damages were concentrated in Kumamoto Prefecture, where buildings collapsed and thousands were evacuated to shelters. An explosion occurred at a shopping center due to a gas leak, injuring eight people, with 20-30 persons trapped inside. No immediate damage was reported at nuclear power plants, but electricity was cut off to 36,900 homes. The region faced infrastructure devastation as rescue and relief efforts continue. Japan is among the most earthquake-prone countries due to its location at the intersection of tectonic plates, and it remains affected by previous devastating earthquakes, including the 2011 Fukushima disaster.
