Two people were killed and 3 others seriously injured in a strong aftershock that hit northeastern Japan on Monday evening.
Police say that in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, 4 people were trapped inside a house buried under mudslides triggered by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake that struck at 5:16 PM.
Police and firefighters pulled them from the debris, but a 16-year-old girl was confirmed dead and the 3 others were seriously injured.
The police say 2 more people are unaccounted for, reportedly trapped inside another house buried by mudslides.
In neighboring Ibaraki Prefecture, a 46-year-old man was carried to hospital after he was found unconscious in a parking lot near his house in Ryugasaki City. He apparently fell during the quake and suffered a blow to the head. He was later confirmed dead.
