Japonya’daki 7.1’lik depremde can kaybı 34’e yükseldi, sanayi sekteye uğradı

Özet · AI üretimi

Japonya’nın Kumamoto eyaletinde 28 Temmuz’da meydana gelen 7.1 büyüklüğündeki deprem, ağır hasara ve can kaybına yol açtı. Çöken bir alışveriş merkezinde mahsur kalanlar için yürütülen arama kurtarma çalışmaları sürerken ölü sayısı 34’e çıktı; en az 50 kişi yaralandı. Sıcak hava ve artçı sarsıntılar tahliye ve yardım operasyonlarını güçleştiriyor. Başbakan Sanae Takaichi, hasar tespit çalışmalarının devam ettiğini bildirdi. Deprem, Japonya’nın ‘Silikon Vadisi’ olarak anılan bölgesindeki otomotiv ve yarı iletken tedarik zincirlerini vurdu. Sony ve TSMC’nin bölgedeki fabrikaları dururken ulaşım altyapısındaki hasar lojistiği olumsuz etkiliyor. On yıl önce benzer bir depremin yol açtığı sanayi kayıplarının ardından, bu yeni sismik olay küresel tedarik risklerini yeniden gündeme taşıdı. Bölgede elektrik kesintileri ve hasarlı yollar nedeniyle üretimin normale dönmesinin zaman alacağı belirtiliyor.

    Major earthquake hits Japan's Kyushu region; PM says injuries reported, buildings collapsed

    An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.1 struck ​Japan’s southern Kumamoto prefecture on Tuesday, knocking out power to thousands ‌of homes, stopping rail services and triggering warnings for tsunamis and aftershocks. Companies including Sony and TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, have plants ​in the area of the quake. A Sony spokesperson ​said the company was checking the situation. TSMC did ⁠not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Japanese government ​issued emergency earthquake warnings for Kumamoto, Nagasaki, Kagoshima, Fukuoka, Saga, Oita, ​and Miyazaki prefectures, all on Japan’s southern Kyushu island. A tsunami warning for a wave measuring one metre was issued after the earthquake, the Japan ​Meteorological Agency said. However, no tsunami activity has been observed so far, according to the agency. “This earthquake occurred inland, and no tsunami activity has been observed so far. For this reason, we hope to lift the tsunami advisory at a relatively early stage, depending on future sea level conditions,” a Japan Meteorological Agency spokesperson said. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said that several injuries, collapsed buildings and fires had been reported after the earthquake. “We are still assessing the extent of injuries and property damage, but I have been informed that there have already been several injuries,” Takaichi said. “Power outages and fires are happening in some areas, and roads and bridges have been damaged and buildings collapsed,” she said. Japan is one of the world’s most earthquake-prone countries, ​with a tremor occurring at least every five minutes. Located along the “Ring ‌of ⁠Fire” of volcanoes and oceanic trenches partly encircling the Pacific Basin, Japan accounts for about 20 per cent of the world’s earthquakes of magnitude 6.0 or more. A massive earthquake in Kumamoto 10 years ​ago killed 275 ​people and ⁠injured a further 2,739, according to an official count. Kyushu Electric Power said about 40,000 homes ​had lost power as a result of the ​quake, while ⁠railway company JR Kyushu said that it had suspended services, including its high-speed bullet trains. There were no irregularities reported at the ⁠nuclear ​power stations in the area, Japan’s ​nuclear regulation authority said.

    Southern Japan rocked by major earthquake, people trapped in mall

    A 7.1-magnitude earthquake hit Japan’s southern Kumamoto prefecture on Tuesday, knocking out power to thousands of homes, rupturing roads and injuring at least 50 people, including some trapped inside a partially collapsed shopping mall. Speaking to reporters at her office in Tokyo, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said the number of casualties and extent of the damage in the area, which was devastated by a tremblor a decade ago, were still being assessed. “We have already been informed that people have been injured. Power outages and fires have occurred in some areas, and there has also been damage to roads and bridges and the collapse of buildings,” Takaichi said. “I ask everyone to take action to protect themselves, including evacuating to a safe location.” Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi speaks to the media at the Prime Minister’s Office, in Tokyo after a 7.1-magnitude earthquake hit southern Japan on July 28, 2026. — AFP A “considerable number” of people have died in the shopping mall, broadcaster TBS said. Police told AFP that they could not confirm whether there were any fatalities at the mall in the town of Kashima. Emergency services earlier said “many people” were trapped inside the building after a floor collapsed. ‘Like volcanic ash was falling’ One hospital had reported more than 50 injuries, public broadcaster NHK said. Several people on a high-speed train at the time of the quake were also injured, Nikkei newspaper said. Multiple people were trapped inside an Aeon shopping mall rocked by an explosion that occurred after the earthquake, emergency services said. An Aeon spokesperson said customers and employees were evacuated right after the initial quake and that the exact cause of the ensuing explosion was unclear. Kazuya Tsurunaga told broadcaster TBS he heard the explosion while cleaning up dishes broken by the earthquake inside a pub about 300 metres from the Aeon mall. “It was a huge impact,” he said. “A large cloud of smoke billowed up, and because the wind happened to be blowing and the wind direction was towards the shop, the area around us was in a state like volcanic ash was falling.” Buildings on fire Several other buildings were also on fire or partially collapsed, according to footage from NHK, while large cracks appeared on major roads, including an elevated highway. Rail services were halted and flights grounded. The exterior wall of a shop is seen collapsed in an earthquake, in Kumamoto City on July 28, 2026. — AFP TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, evacuated workers from its plant in the area as a precaution, a spokesperson for the firm said. Sony and Fujifilm also evacuated staff from their plants in the area, Nikkei newspaper reported. A Sony spokesperson earlier said it was checking the situation. Around 300,000 people have been instructed to go to evacuation centres, the disaster management agency said. The quake’s epicentre was about 20 kilometres south of Kumamoto, central Kyushu island’s largest city with a population of around 700,000. Residents in the areas that felt the biggest tremors must beware of further strong quakes for about a week, as well as the risk of landslides, an official for the Japan Meteorological Agency said. Tsunami warning lifted Japan is one of the world’s most earthquake-prone countries, with a tremor occurring at least every five minutes. Located along the “Ring of Fire” of volcanoes and oceanic trenches partly encircling the Pacific Basin, Japan accounts for about 20 per cent of the world’s earthquakes of magnitude 6.0 or more. A tsunami warning was issued immediately after Tuesday’s quake, but was later lifted. Kyushu Electric Power said 48,000 homes had lost power as a result of the latest quake, while railway company JR Kyushu said that it had suspended services, including its high-speed bullet trains. Kumamoto airport also shut its runway, as airlines diverted and cancelled flights. Telecoms operators KDDI and Docomo said there was disruption to their mobile phone services due to power shortages and transmission-line failures. There were no irregularities reported at the nuclear power stations in the area, Japan’s nuclear regulation authority said. A massive earthquake in Kumamoto 10 years ago killed 275 people and injured a further 2,739, according to an official count, and damaged thousands of buildings including the city’s castle, a top tourist site. A collapsed part of Kumamoto Castle’s stone walls after an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.1 struck Japan’s southern Kumamoto prefecture, in Kumamoto, Japan on July 28, 2026. — via Reuters Some portions of the stone walls at the castle also collapsed as a result of Tuesday’s quake, an official at the castle’s office said.

    Powerful quake hits southern Japan, deaths feared in shopping mall explosion

    A 7.1-magnitude earthquake hit Japan’s southern Kumamoto prefecture on Tuesday, knocking out power to thousands of homes, rupturing roads and leaving some trapped and others presumed dead inside a partially collapsed shopping mall. Speaking to reporters at her office in Tokyo, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said authorities were still assessing the full extent of the damage in the area, which was devastated by a deadly quake a decade ago. “We have already been informed that people have been injured.

Several people on a high-speed train at the time of the quake were also injured, Nikkei newspaper said. Multiple people were trapped inside an Aeon shopping mall rocked by an explosion that occurred after the earthquake, fire services said. Police said “quite a few” were presumed dead in the incident, broadcaster TBS reported.

    Rescuers in Japan haul survivors from collapsed mall as earthquake toll rises to 13

    Rescuers were frantically searching on Wednesday for survivors of a 7.1-magnitude earthquake that shook southern Japan, killing at least 13 people, knocking out power to thousands of homes and rupturing roads across the region. Eight people were pulled from the rubble of a partially collapsed shopping mall near the city of Kumamoto that was torn apart by an apparent explosion about an hour after Tuesday’s earthquake. Of them, three have died. Mall operator Aeon said four workers at the Kumamoto shopping centre remained unaccounted for after checks of the roughly 2,700 staff. Customers had been evacuated right after the initial quake. Rescuers work at the damaged Aeon Mall shopping centre, where an explosion occurred after an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.1 struck Japan’s southern Kumamoto prefecture, in Kashima Town, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, July 29, 2026. —Reuters “Even now, there are people waiting to be rescued, and this is a race against time. We will marshal all available resources on the ground to save and rescue as many people as possible,” Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi told reporters in Tokyo. Authorities are investigating a possible gas explosion at the Aeon mall, media reported. Rescuers reported smelling gas inside the building but the cause of the incident was still under investigation, Japan’s top government spokesperson Minoru Kihara said. Emergency fire rescue teams, police and around 170 army personnel were focusing on areas of the building where calls for help had been received. More than 4,500 soldiers have been deployed to help with recovery efforts across the quake zone. Seven people are also missing after a chimney collapsed at a Nippon Paper Industries factory, while four others are seriously injured, a local government official said. Hospitals were reported to be treating dozens of patients. Across the prefecture, which also suffered a deadly earthquake a decade ago, around 260,000 people were instructed to go to evacuation centres, authorities said. Police said they received 386 emergency calls after the quake hit, including reports of collapsed buildings and people seeking rescue. The quake’s epicentre was about 20 km south of Kumamoto City, central Kyushu’s largest city with a population of around 700,000. In nearby Yatsushiro city among the hardest-hit areas, many homes had damaged roofs and a handful of collapsed buildings lay scattered. Roads leading to this coastal town were cracked and buckled in places, and many businesses remained shuttered. Part of a bridge had collapsed into the Kumagawa River, drawing a steady trickle of curious residents to the site. Authorities have warned residents in the areas that felt the biggest tremors to be on alert for further strong quakes for about a week, as well as for the risk of landslides. With more than 36,000 homes still without power as temperatures soar to around 34 degrees Celsius on Wednesday, authorities also warned about the risk of heat stroke. Some hospitals overstretched One hospital in Uki city, near the epicentre, said a power outage caused by the earthquake meant it was unable to function. “It’s become like a field hospital,” the head of the administrative department told NHK. Another hospital in the city said it had suspended admissions as it could no longer handle additional emergency cases after accepting 86 injured people following the quake, including three with serious injuries. Several passengers aboard high-speed trains at the time of the quake were also injured, said operators, who immediately suspended all services after the jolt. Buildings that collapsed after an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.1 struck Japan’s southern Kumamoto prefecture, in Yatsushiro City , Japan, July 29, 2026. —Reuters Public attention was focused on the collapse of the Aeon mall, the largest in the prefecture. One side of the mall, which houses around 200 stores, was torn away, exposing steel beams and strewing debris across a parking lot, footage showed. Some major companies with plants in the area, including Renesas Electronics , Sony, Tokyo Electron and Honda, have suspended operations at their plants. Toyota Motor also said it would suspend work at three factories outside Kumamoto prefecture through Friday in consideration of the situation at suppliers. TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, evacuated workers from its local plant as a precaution after the quake but said it had begun resuming operations late on Tuesday. Located on the “Ring of Fire” of volcanoes and oceanic trenches partly encircling the Pacific Basin, Japan accounts for about 20 per cent of the world’s earthquakes of magnitude 6.0 or more. A massive earthquake in Kumamoto 10 years ago killed 275 people and injured a further 2,739, according to an official count, and damaged thousands of buildings including the walls of the city’s castle, a top tourist site. The castle was also among several historic buildings damaged in Tuesday’s quakes alongside shrines with heavy tiled roofs that partially collapsed and a 17th-century tea house.

    After the quake came the blast: Inside Japan's shopping mall disaster

    Workers in a mall in southern Japan described being thrown to the floor or enveloped in a cloud of dust by a massive 7.1-magnitude quake that rattled the building on Tuesday. They were the lucky ones. An hour later, the real disaster struck. Hundreds of shoppers and store employees, quickly ushered by staff to evacuate, watched on in horror as an explosion ripped through the building, exposing the structure’s steel beams and catapulting debris across the parking lot. First responders, initially fearful of entering the wreckage, hauled eight people from the partially collapsed site early on Wednesday, among them three dead. The status of four store workers remains unknown, mall operator Aeon said, adding that it was investigating a possible gas leak. “I thought a bomb had gone off,” Takateru Sonoda, 41, who runs a combined hair salon and cafe near the mall, told news agency Jiji Press. “There were people calling on others to evacuate and sirens were ringing out. Nearby roads were gridlocked, it was a state of panic,” Sonoda said. Japanese soldiers work outside the damaged Aeon Mall Kumamoto in Kashima, Kumamoto Prefecture, on July 29, 2026, after an earthquake struck southwestern Japan the previous day. — AFP Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said on Wednesday it was a “race against time” to rescue those still trapped in the mall and others affected by the quake. Around 170 soldiers have been deployed to help with rescue operations at the site. Mall touted safety features The mall, the biggest in the prefecture, had just reopened last month as a new and improved shopping and entertainment complex to commemorate its recovery from another deadly tremor a decade ago. After being badly damaged in the magnitude 7.3 Kumamoto earthquake in April 2016, the operator highlighted its seismically reinforced ceilings and overall improvements to safety and resilience as part of its redevelopment. Still, one worker manning one of the mall’s 200 stores told the Yomiuri newspaper that Tuesday’s temblor shook the building for 10 seconds and brought him to his knees. Another 22-year-old employee at the mall’s cinema told the newspaper that the quake threw up a disorientating cloud of dust. A general view shows damage to part of the Aeon Mall Kumamoto in Kashima, Kumamoto Prefecture, on July 29, 2026, after an earthquake struck southwestern Japan the previous day. — AFP Despite the chaos, staff promptly followed protocol to evacuate more than 200 shoppers and workers to a car park where many took shelter in their vehicles in sweltering summer heat, the workers said. Some people, however, went back into the building prior to the explosion, Kyodo news agency reported, citing customers. Kazuya Tsurunaga was stunned by the blast while cleaning up dishes and glasses broken by the earlier earthquake inside a pub about 300 metres from the mall. “A large cloud of smoke was billowing up, and because the wind happened to be blowing, and the wind direction was toward the shop, it was like volcanic ash was falling around us,” he told broadcaster TBS. For the first few hours after the blast, police officers and firefighters could not enter the wreckage because of the risk of further building collapse amid a series of aftershocks, a police official said. By the end of Tuesday, more than 100 aftershocks had occurred in Kumamoto. Gas warnings Video footage shot by a police officer who braved the wreckage early on Wednesday showed large sections of the ceiling had collapsed, store fronts had been blown open and furniture was strewn across the floor. Some rescue workers reported smelling gas, Japan’s government spokesperson Minoru Kihara told a press conference on Wednesday. Workers gather outside the damaged Aeon Mall Kumamoto in Kashima, Kumamoto Prefecture, on July 29, 2026, after an earthquake struck southwestern Japan the previous day. — AFP A TV correspondent reporting from the site said an emergency vehicle repeatedly urged people not to get near the mall due to a possible gas leak. Kihara said the mall used LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), which is transported in large canisters rather than via a pipeline. Piped gas is automatically shut off by network operators if seismic activity reaches a certain threshold or damage is confirmed to the line, a spokesperson for the Japan Gas Association said. But LPG also has such safety protocols, an official with the Japan LPG sales association said. Microcomputer-controlled metres automatically shut off supply if they detect abnormalities such as leaks or pressure fluctuations, and are designed to cut supply during seismic activity of intensity 5 or higher, the official said. Gas suppliers and safety service providers can also remotely shut off supply via radio transmission in emergencies, he added. Aeon declined to comment on its gas supplier or gas safety protocols. “We would like to express our deepest condolences to those who lost their lives,” the firm said. “We also extend our sincere apologies to the bereaved families and to those who were injured.” Header image: Journalists gather outside the damaged Aeon Mall Kumamoto in Kashima, Kumamoto Prefecture, on July 29, 2026, after an earthquake struck southwestern Japan the previous day. — AFP

    'Glad everyone’s safe': Sigh of relief after 25 cats escape Japan mall damaged by quake

    Twenty-five cats stuck inside a shopping mall in Japan gutted in an explosion after a major earthquake have been rescued, the operator said on Thursday, triggering huge relief on social media. Momo, Kohaku, Tango, Shandy — a fluffy Norwegian Forest Cat — and the others were in Cat Cafe MOFF on the ground floor of the Aeon mall in Kashima when the deadly 7.1-magnitude quake hit on Tuesday. The mall was evacuated and employees returned to retrieve the cats when a huge explosion — likely caused by gas — ripped through the building, and staff “hurriedly evacuated”, the cafe said. At least 34 people died in the quake, according to authorities in the southwestern Kumamoto region. On Wednesday, with permission from the fire service, the police and the mall operator, MOFF’s manager entered the building and safely rescued all 25 cats, which were unharmed. Around 10pm (6pm PKT) the same day, the animals arrived safely in the city of Hiroshima in western Japan, where the company has another cat cafe, it said. View this post on Instagram “We were concerned about fatigue from the long journey from Kumamoto, but after arriving we provided individual care for each of them,” it said.
