Following a strong earthquake that struck central Japan on New Year’s Day, at least 30 people have been confirmed dead. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has warned that the damage is “widespread” and that the number of casualties is expected to rise.

The nation’s first significant tsunami warning since the earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 that left roughly 18,500 people in the northeast dead or missing was triggered by the magnitude 7.6 earthquake that occurred on Monday afternoon near the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa prefecture.

Speaking on Tuesday, Kishida stated that the earthquake’s ability to bring down buildings and start fires was proof of “extensive damage.”

He declared that there were “many” casualties and that there would be a “race against time” to save the victims.

Authorities stated that it is difficult for them to determine the full extent of the fallout and that damaged roads have hampered rescue efforts.

Because there is a chance of more powerful earthquakes, officials in some areas have advised residents to avoid going near their homes. There are still aftershocks trembling Ishikawa Prefecture.
