Death toll from Japan earthquake rises, rescue operations continue

The death toll from the powerful earthquake that struck southwestern Japan has risen to 30, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi confirmed on Thursday.

A 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Kumamoto prefecture on the main island of Kyushu on Tuesday, causing widespread damage to homes, power lines and public buildings. Search and rescue teams are continuing operations to find people trapped under the rubble.

One of the most serious incidents occurred at a shopping mall, where the collapse of part of the building and an explosion that occurred about an hour later caused several casualties. The president of the Aeon company stated that the explosion was most likely the result of a gas leak, while the investigation is still ongoing.

About 9,000 displaced residents have taken shelter in evacuation centers, while over 30,000 families were left without electricity. Authorities are also dealing with high temperatures, which are expected to reach up to 39 degrees Celsius in the coming days.

Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi announced the dispatch of 300 air conditioners to Kumamoto Prefecture, where half of them will be placed in evacuation centers to improve conditions for those sheltering.

More than 100 aftershocks have been recorded since the earthquake, causing many residents to spend the nights in their vehicles for fear of new tremors.

Search and rescue operations are also continuing at a Nippon Paper factory in the city of Yatsushiro, where at least five people were killed after the building partially collapsed. Of the 11 people who were trapped, seven have been pulled out alive.
