A devastating earthquake in southwestern Japan has left 13 dead, with rescue teams racing against time to save lives trapped under rubble—especially at a collapsed mall and a damaged paper factory where two survivors and two bodies were recovered. Over 9,000 displaced residents are sheltering in facilities equipped with air conditioning to combat a dangerous heatwave. Transportation remains disrupted, with bullet trains suspended and flights still canceled, while historic Kumamoto Castle suffers new damage. Many recall the quake’s eerie similarity to the 2016 disaster, as communities brace for recovery amid ongoing emergency response.
