Deadly earthquake strikes Japan
A deadly earthquake in southern Japan has killed at least nine people and injured more than 250.
Thousands fled their homes and many people spent the night in the open in the town of Mashiki, near Kumamoto city on the island of Kyushu.
It struck yesterday at a depth of 10km (six miles) and was followed by aftershocks measuring 5.7 about 40 minutes later and 6.4 just after midnight local time.
The BBC’s Japan Correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes says the quake took place at a time when most people were at home.
As a precaution, some train services were suspended.
