Japan Earthquake Death Toll Rises as Rescue Efforts Continue. At least 13 people have died after a powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck southern Japan’s Kumamoto region. Rescue teams are racing to find survivors trapped beneath collapsed buildings as authorities warn time is critical. The earthquake cut power to thousands of homes, damaged roads, and triggered widespread disruption across the affected area. Eight people were rescued from a damaged shopping mall where an explosion killed two women afterward. Officials are investigating a possible gas leak as emergency crews search the mall for missing workers. Around 260,000 residents were urged to evacuate, while thousands remain without electricity during extreme summer heat. Hospitals near the epicenter are struggling, with some facilities overwhelmed after treating dozens of injured patients. Major companies including Honda and Tokyo Electron suspended operations, while authorities warned of possible aftershocks and landslides.
