2 January 2024 at 02:00 Prime Minister of Japan: A battle against the clock – The effort to save those affected by Monday’s powerful earthquake in Japan is a battle against the clock, says Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. Kishida says the Japanese defense forces have already sent out many soldiers to the affected areas, and that they will continue to help those affected. At least eight people have been confirmed dead after the earthquake, which had a magnitude of 7.5, reports Reuters. After the earthquake on the west side of Honshu, the largest of the Japanese islands, a tsunami warning was issued for waves up to five meters high, but this has now been lifted. Since Monday, 155 earthquakes have been recorded in Japan, including another earthquake with a magnitude above 6, the country’s meteorological institute says. Most of the quakes had a strength of over 3. Although the strength has decreased gradually, six strong tremors could still be felt on Tuesday, the authorities say. (NTB)
