Japan's Fire and Disaster Management Agency (FDMA) released multiple footage of the ongoing rescue operation at the Aeon Mall shopping center in Kumamoto prefecture on Wednesday. Soldiers and emergency workers combed through a badly damaged shopping mall looking for trapped survivors after a powerful earthquake hit the region Tuesday, killing at least 18 people, in southwestern Japan. The magnitude 7.1 earthquake that hit the southern main island of Kyushu also left at least 62 people injured, six of them seriously, the prefectural government said.
The tally has been steadily growing, fanning fears it may continue to rise. The sweltering weather heightened worries about the survivors as rescuers braved the heat. It remained unclear how many people might still be missing.
