Japan earthquake: Buildings toppled as fires rip through residential areas
Powerful aftershocks rocked central Japan on Tuesday morning as the death toll from a New Year’s Day earthquake rose to 48.
Several strong jolts were felt throughout Ishikawa prefecture on the main island of Honshu, including one with a 5.6 magnitude shortly after 10am local time.
Meanwhile, the death toll from the initial 7.6 magnitude quake that struck the region’s Noto peninsula on Monday afternoon rose to 48, with authorities warning the figure was expected to continue to climb.

The positive thing is that it happened during day time. Hope they are able to do all rescue efforts successfully.
