Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said Thursday that the death toll from the recent powerful earthquake in Kumamoto Prefecture has risen to 30.
Speaking at a meeting of the government's emergency disaster management headquarters, Takaichi said the figure, as of 12:30 local time, included people whose deaths are still under investigation to determine whether they were directly related to the 7.1-magnitude tremor.
An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.1 struck Kumamoto Prefecture at 16:27 local time (1927 GMT) on Tuesday at a depth of about 10 km, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
