A devastating 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck southern Japan’s Kumamoto prefecture, killing at least 13 and injuring hundreds as power and water collapsed across tens of thousands of homes. Rescue teams scramble through rubble, while over 9,000 flee to shelters as the military deploys thousands to aid relief. Memories of a deadly quake a decade ago haunt the region, where hospitals strain under injuries and outages. Sixty aftershocks keep residents tense, and sweltering heat compounds the crisis. Yet Japan’s earthquake-resistant infrastructure — built to absorb seismic fury — likely saved countless lives and minimized catastrophe.
