Aftershocks continue in Japan earthquake zone as death toll rises to 62 – live - The Independent

Drone footage shows devastating aftermath of deadly Japan earthquakes

Aftershocks continued to jolt Japan on Wednesday as the death toll from a series of strong earthquakes rose to 62, according to the regional government.

Earlier, Japan’s prime minister Fumio Kishida said rescuers were in a “battle against time” as the toll continued to rise.

A magnitude of 7.6 jolted Japan on Monday afternoon damaging buildings and roads, which also prompted the country to issue tsunami warnings along the coast. The tsunami warnings were later lifted on early Tuesday morning.

More than 300 people are reportedly injured and 20 of them are in serious condition.

Rescue teams struggled in freezing temperatures on Tuesday to reach isolated areas where many people are feared trapped under toppled buildings.

“The search and rescue of those impacted by the quake is a battle against time,” the prime minister said during an emergency disaster meeting.

Nearly 31,800 people are in shelters at the moment as tens of thousands of homes have been destroyed.

Japan experienced more than 400 tremors until Wednesday morning

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), more than 400 aftershocks have struck the region as of this morning.

The 7.6-magnitude earthquake on New Year’s Day was followed by hundreds of aftershocks, with officials warning these could continue for up to a week.

Some regions in the Noto peninsula, the epicentre of the initial quake, remain cut off due to damaged roads, landslides and large fires.

“To secure the route there, we are to mobilise all the means of transport, not only on the ground but also by aerial and marine transport. We have been making an effort to transfer goods, supplies and personnel there since last night,” prime minister Fumio Kishida said.

Survivors provided with water and blankets as search dogs join rescue teams

Rescue agency officials are distributing water, blankets, food and other supplies today to the survivors of the massive earthquake in Ishikawa.

In some of the earthquake-hit regions, power, water and cell phone service were still down.

“Hardly any of the homes are standing. They are either partially or totally destroyed,” said Masuhiro Izumiya, the mayor of Suzu city.

Search dogs have also joined the rescue efforts besides firefighters and the military. Dozens of people are still believed to be trapped under rubble.

ICYMI: Japan’s nuclear power plants unscathed from earthquake

Japan’s nuclear power plants along the Sea of Japan coast remained largely unscathed from the New Year’s Day earthquake that struck the Noto peninsula in Ishikawa prefecture.

Despite the 7.6 magnitude quake triggering tsunami warnings – that were later lifted — and evacuations in nine prefectures, Japan Times reported, that the incident could renew public concerns about the safety of nuclear power in an earthquake-prone country.

Survivors share heartwrenching stories after quake destroyed their homes

Yasuhiro Kano, a resident of Suzu’s Horyu district, evacuated his mother in time just as his house was collapsing.

His two-story home was destroyed in the earthquake. Since New Year’s Day, he has moved to two shelters but now worries about food and rescue.

“At first I thought the shaking was the usual 4 or 5 on the Japanese seismic scale, but soon the vertical shaking came, and the house collapsed,” the 50-year-old told the Asahi Shimbun newspaper.

“My house has completely collapsed. I don’t know what will happen now. I don’t even know how long it will take to recover. I have nothing but anxiety,” he added.

A British tourist visiting Japan, Emma Ward, told BBC that the quake hit “without warning”. She was on a ski holiday with her group and as the massive tremor struck the region, she took shelter under a table in the cafe.

“The worst part during the earthquake was not knowing how intense it was going to become. It’s a very frightening experience.”

Severed road connections make it difficult to reach survivors with aid

There are significant difficulties in accessing the northern Noto peninsula in Japan – the worst-hit quake region – due to severed road connections to Wajima and Suzu, local media reported.

The Ishikawa prefecture’s Noto peninsula was most severely hit in the 7.6-magnitude devastating earthquake.

Roads leading to Noto Airport in Wajima are inaccessible, with extensive cracks exceeding 10 centimetres in depth and over 10 metres in length on the runways, the Asahi Shimbun newspaper reported.

In response, officials are now planning to use sea routes to transport relief supplies to the survivors and rescue teams.

Miracle at Haneda: how cabin crew pulled off great escape from Japan plane fire - The Guardian

It took firefighters more than six hours to extinguish the blaze that engulfed a Japan Airlines jet after it struck another plane on landing at Tokyo’s Haneda airport on Tuesday. Earlier, it had taken the 12 crew members just minutes to usher hundreds of people on board to safety.

As petrified passengers watched flames lick the windows while the cabin filled with smoke, JAL flight attendants hid their unease and drew on every last detail of their safety training. According to the airline, all 367 passengers and 12 crew disembarked in under 20 minutes.

As Japanese and international aviation experts attempt to establish how a Japan Coast Guard Bombardier DHC8-300 – five of whose six occupants perished – came to lie directly in the path of the Airbus A350, the men and women whose actions averted a major disaster during those vital minutes have been praised for their composure and professionalism.

The pilot who brought the skidding plane, now resembling a fireball, to a halt on its nose; the crew who, unable to use the damaged PA system, calmly issued instructions through megaphones; and the passengers, who remained seated before making their way to evacuation slides, leaving their carry-on luggage to the flames.

Real-time images filmed from the terminal building at Haneda – one of two international airports serving the capital – show the plane in flames as it careered down the runway, suggesting claims of a miracle escape are far from hyperbolic.

Inside the aircraft, confusion quickly turned to horror as passengers noticed that an engine had caught fire seconds after the plane landed at the end of an early-evening flight from Shin Chitose airport on Japan’s northernmost island of Hokkaido.

“I was laughing a bit at first when I could see sparks coming out [of the engine], but when the fire started, I realised it there was more to it than that,” said Tokyo resident Tsubasa Sawada. “I really thought I was going to die.”

Widely shared video footage shows flight attendants at the front of a darkened cabin gesturing for passengers to remain seated and thanking them for their cooperation. At one point, the camera pans across to show a window frame filled with orange light.

“Please get me out of here,” one woman shouts in the video. A child is heard asking: “Why don’t you just open the doors?”

The actions of crew and passengers have been credited with averting tragedy. Incredibly, none received serious injuries. As firefighters arrived to begin battling the flames, the crew had already deployed the escape chutes – the cue for almost 400 people, including several young children, to slide to safety.

Evacuation slides deployed before fire engulfed the plane

Critically, none appeared to have paused to retrieve hand luggage from overhead lockers, ensuring a clear route to the emergency exits. Less than two hours earlier, the passengers had watched a JAL safety video urging them to do exactly that. In the video, a flight attendant warns: “Leave your baggage when you evacuate!”, extending her open palms for emphasis. An animated sequence then shows the damage that bags and high-heeled shoes can cause to the inflatable evacuation slides.

Aviation experts said the unshakeable composure displayed by the flight attendants combined with the high level of cooperation among passengers probably prevented a deeply unsettling experience becoming a major disaster.

“The cabin crew must have done an excellent job. There don’t seem to be any carry-ons. It was a miracle that all the passengers got off,” said Paul Hayes, director of air safety at the UK-based aviation consultancy Ascend by Cirium.

Michele Robson, a former air traffic controller, said the crew had done “really well to evacuate under very difficult circumstances”. She told Channel 4 News: “It’s natural for passengers to start panicking when they see flames, and obviously there had been come sort of collision, which must have been extremely worrying for those on board.”

John Cox, a pilot and founder of a US-based aviation safety consultancy, said the cabin crew “did a remarkably great job” getting passengers off the plane so quickly. “It shows good training,” he said. “And if you look at the video, people are not trying to get stuff out of the overheads. They are concentrating on getting out of the airplane.”

Officials look at the burnt wreckage of a Japan Airlines (JAL) passenger plane on the tarmac at Tokyo International Airport at Haneda

The rigorous insistence on safety during the evacuation is rooted in better aircraft design and tougher standards across the industry, but also in JAL’s part in the most deadly accident in aviation history involving a single aircraft.

On 12 August 1985, a JAL jumbo jet crashed into a mountain en route from Tokyo to Osaka, killing 520 of the 524 people on board.

While the cause was traced to a faulty repair carried out by Boeing engineers and not to pilot error, the crash and its aftermath have left an indelible mark on the carrier’s safety culture, including a display of torn fuselage and damaged seats retrieved from the wreckage intended to raise awareness about safety among JAL employees.

Almost four decades on, the carrier is regularly named as one of the world’s safest airlines by the website airlineratings.com.

“Japan has a phenomenal record when it comes to transport safety,” Prof Graham Braithwaite, director of transport systems at Cranfield University in the UK, told the BBC, describing JAL as a “world leader” in safety.

“The evacuation has been successful and is a reminder of how much has gone into training cabin crew,” he added. “Their focus is on safety. They are the last people to evacuate the airplane and on face value, it looks like they have done an incredible job.”

Like every one of his fellow passengers, Sawada, who was returning from Hokkaido from a holiday with his girlfriend, tried to suppress thoughts of what might have been, had the evacuation taken longer.

About 10 minutes after disembarking, there was an explosion on the plane, he said. “I can only say it was a miracle … we could have died if we had been late.”

'Seething' Putin hammers Ukraine with massive missile and drone attacks - POLITICO Europe

Russia battered Kyiv and Kharkiv with missiles and drones overnight, killing at least four people and injuring 92 more, after President Vladimir Putin said he was “seething” and would “intensify attacks” on Ukraine.

Moscow hit the capital with a combination of Iranian-made Shahed drones and “waves” of missiles for almost six hours, according to the Kyiv City Military Administration.

“As a result of such a massive missile attack in the capital, unfortunately, there is destruction of residential buildings, damage to infrastructure. There are victims,” said Serhiy Popko, head of the Kyiv military administration.

“Since December 31st, Russian monsters have already fired 170 ‘Shahed’ drones and dozens of missiles of various types” at Ukraine, the country’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a post on social media. “The absolute majority of them targeted civilian infrastructure. I am grateful to all of our partners who are helping us strengthen our air shield.”

A Japan Airlines plane was in flames as it landed on a runway at Tokyo's Haneda airport on Tuesday evening.

Footage on broadcaster NHK showed flames coming out of the windows of the aircraft and beneath it. The runway was also set alight.

The plane, which had taken off from Sapporo, collided with a coast guard plane, NHK said, citing authorities.

All 379 passengers and crew on board were evacuated, media reports quoted the airline as saying.

"We are currently assessing the extent of the damage," the airline said, according to an NHK report.

The plane, Japan Airlines Flight 516, departed from New Chitose airport at 16:00 local time (07:00 GMT) and was scheduled to land at Haneda at 17:40.

The TV footage shows multiple fire trucks at the scene as smoke and flames billow from the plane.

Lee Jae-myung: South Korean opposition leader stabbed in neck during Busan visit - Sky News

South Korea's opposition leader Lee Jae-myung has been stabbed in the neck during a visit to Busan, police have said.

He was attacked as he toured a construction site at a new airport, said the city's emergency office.

It said Lee - who heads the main opposition Democratic Party - was conscious and not critically injured but his exact condition is unknown.

He was taken to a local university hospital for treatment.

Police said an unidentified man approached the politician for an autograph before lunging in with a 18cm long knife he had bought online.

The 67-year-old man was quickly restrained and arrested. He later refused to identify himself or say why he attacked Lee, according to the Yonhap news agency.

YTN television showed Lee grimacing and collapsing to the ground, with other images showing people pressing a handkerchief to the side of his neck.

It is believed Lee's jugular vein was damaged and there was concern over the large amount of bleeding, party spokesperson Kwon Chil-seung told reporters.

He had reportedly been left with a gash of about 1cm.

The Democratic Party called the incident "a terrorist attack on Lee and a serious threat to democracy" and called on police to make a thorough and swift investigation.

Lee lost the 2022 presidential election to Yoon Suk-yeol by a narrow margin.

He is currently on trial for alleged bribery - which he denies - relating to a development project when he was mayor of Seongnam near Seoul.

The liberal is also known for his outspoken style, with supporters seeing him as an anti-elitist crusader, but critics view him as a populist who stokes divisions and demonises conservative rivals.

President Yoon condemned the attack and expressed deep concern for Lee's condition, said a spokesperson.

South Korea has strict gun laws but there is a history of political violence using other weapons.

Lee's predecessor, Song Young-gil, suffered a head wound when he was attacked with a blunt object at a public event in 2022.

Japan earthquakes: ‘battle against time’ to find those trapped under rubble as death toll rises - The Guardian

Japan’s prime minister has said the country is facing a “battle against time” to rescue those affected by a series of major earthquakes which reportedly killed at least 48 people, injured dozens and sparked fires that destroyed homes.

Police and local authorities early on Tuesday reported cases of bodies being pulled from the rubble of collapsed buildings while others remained trapped.

“We must rescue them as quickly as possible, especially those who are trapped under collapsed structures,” Fumio Kishida said during an emergency disaster meeting.

One thousand army personnel have been dispatched to the worst-hit area in the country’s relatively remote Noto peninsula, but rescue operations have been hindered by badly damaged and blocked roads and one of the area’s airports has been forced to close due to runway cracks.

Smoke rising from an area following a large fire in Wajima, Ishikawa prefecture

In Wajima city, fires were still burning at 7am local time on Tuesday and the fire department reports more than 100 homes and other buildings have been completely destroyed. At least 15 of the dead were in Wajima city, the the Kyodo news agency said.

The worst-affected area was around the Asachi-dori street, a district popular with visitors and known for its many wooden buildings. The cause and casualty numbers were currently unclear.

The quakes, the largest of which had a magnitude of 7.6 at a shallow depth of 10km, struck on the west coast of Japan’s main island on Monday and shook buildings in Tokyo, around 300km away.

The epicentre of the quake was on the peninsula, which protrudes into the Sea of Japan, and the loss of life and injuries have been concentrated there. A woman in her fifties was confirmed dead in Nanao city, where more than 30 people were taken to hospital. Other residents of the area were reported to have been found unconscious or believed to be trapped under rubble or missing.

Houses destroyed by an earthquake are seen in Kanazawa, Ishikawa prefecture

Aftershocks could slam the affected areas over the next few days, the meteorological agency said, and residents of coastal areas were being told not to return to their homes, despite tsunami warnings being lifted.

Japanese public broadcaster NHK TV initially warned that torrents of water could reach as high as five metres and people were evacuated to sports halls, schools and other public buildings.

Bullet trains and flights in and out of the region were all suspended Tuesday morning. Section of major highways remained closed and water supplies were cut due to burst pipes in some areas, according to NHK. Mobile phone networks in the region were also damaged but service was gradually being restored.

British prime minister Rishi Sunak said the UK stood ready to support Japan and that “British nationals in the affected areas should follow the advice of the Japanese authorities.”

The US president, Joe Biden, said in a statement that his administration was in touch with Japanese officials and “ready to provide any necessary assistance for the Japanese people.”

Japan is the most quake-prone nation in the world but a tsunami warning of the magnitude of Monday’s had not been issued since a major quake and tsunami struck the north-east of the country on 11 March 2011, killing 18,000 people. The disaster devastated towns and triggered nuclear meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. Nearly all of Japan’s nuclear power plants have been mothballed since the disaster.

Nuclear regulators said no rises in radiation levels were detected at the monitoring posts in the region, and no abnormalities had been detected at the more than 20 reactors situated along the nearby coastline.

Tsunami warning issued as 7.6 magnitude earthquake hits Japan - Sky News

Japan has issued a major tsunami warning after a series of strong earthquakes.

The quakes hit Ishikawa and nearby areas, with one having a preliminary magnitude of 7.6, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.

There are reports of people trapped under the rubble of collapsed buildings and tens of thousands of homes are without power - with people being urged to flee to high ground due to the tsunami threat.

Japan earthquake latest: Major tsunami warning as residents urged to evacuate

The major tsunami warning has been issued for Ishikawa, along with lower-level warnings or advisories for the rest of the western coast of the island of Honshu.

A tsunami over 1.2m high struck Noto in Ishikawa, a spokesperson for the meteorological agency said.

They added there was a risk of fires, houses collapsing and landslides in areas hit by strong quakes and urged members of the public not to return to dangerous areas for at least a week.

Waves up to 5m predicted

Waves up to 5m high are predicted, according to Japanese broadcaster NHK, which urged people to flee to high ground or the tops of nearby buildings as quickly as possible.

It warned tsunami waves could keep returning and warned more strong quakes could occur in the area over the coming days. Several aftershocks rocked the region.

Residents urged to evacuate

Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida urged residents facing the tsunami threat to evacuate immediately following the earthquake.

"Residents need to stay on alert for further possible quakes and I urge people in areas where tsunamis are expected to evacuate as soon as possible," he said.

Government spokesman Yoshimasa Hayashi said it was critical for people in coastal areas to get away from the oncoming tsunami.

"Every minute counts. Please evacuate to a safe area immediately," he said.

No irregularities reported at nuclear plants

Nuclear power plants in the area had not reported any irregularities, Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority said.

More than 36,000 households lost power in Ishikawa and Toyama prefectures, utilities provider Hokuriku Electric Power said.

High speed rail services to Ishikawa have been suspended while Japanese airline ANA turned back planes headed to airports in Toyama and Ishikawa and Japan Airlines cancelled most of its services to Niigata and Ishikawa regions.

Tsunami could last for days

The tsunami could last for two days, an expert said. The secretary general of the Joint Tsunami Commission, Mohammad Heidarzadeh, told Sky News the natural disaster has the potential to create "long-lasting oscillations" due to its location in the Sea of Japan - an almost entirely enclosed basin.

"This means that for two days you could have large waves and then obviously an impact on countries on the other side like North Korea, South Korea, Russia," he said. "We are just at the beginning of a disaster, I would say."

Russia and North Korea issue tsunami warnings

Russia issued a tsunami warning for parts of Sakhalin island's western coast and the mainland cities of Vladivostok and Nakhodka, which are situated close to Japan on Russia's east, while North Korea issued tsunami warnings for its east coast.

South Korea's weather agency said the sea level in some areas along the east coast may rise after the earthquake.

Japan is extremely prone to earthquakes. In March 2011, a major quake and tsunami caused meltdowns at the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
