Deadly Earthquake in Japan: Death Toll Up To 10, Over 800 Injured (Magnitude 6.2)
Tokyo (CNN): At least nine people died when an earthquake shook southwestern Japan's Kyushu island late Thursday, the Kumamoto Prefecture disaster management office said.
Search crews scrambled to dig through rubble looking for people trapped under collapsed buildings.
The magnitude-6.2 quake struck near Ueki, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Dozens of smaller aftershocks followed.
"The ground shook for about 20 seconds before the 6.2-magnitude quake stopped," witness Lim Ting Jie said.

Second quake in two days, many more dead and injured:
Fortunately Cambodia does not suffer from earthquakes or who knows how many buildings would go down.

The earthquake had a powerful 7.3 magnitude which was felt across the Kumamoto region on the southwestern island of Kyushu at 1.25am on Saturday local time. It followed a magnitude 6.2 earthquake which hit on Thursday in the same region.
Numerous buildings have collapsed and rescuers were digging through rubble, mud and debris to try and reach those trapped, but continued aftershocks hindered rescue efforts and fuelled fears of more powerful quakes. Thousands of soldiers were being sent to the scene to help...
