Japan Earthquake Shakes Southwest | Miami News

A magnitude 7.1 earthquake rattled Japan’s southwest, collapsing buildings, sparking fires, and trapping dozens in a shattered shopping mall—leaving at least 50 hospitalized as rescue teams scramble amid power outages and cracked infrastructure. The quake, centered on Kyushu’s southern tip, triggered Japan’s highest seismic alert and briefly raised tsunami fears before canceling the warning. For a nation scarred by past disasters—including the 2011 tsunami—this tremor stirs fresh trauma. Nuclear plants remain unaffected, but the toll is still unfolding as emergency crews battle to reach survivors buried under rubble.
