Japan

Powerful earthquakes jolted central and
eastern Japan Saturday evening, killing 18 person in Niigata Prefecture,
injuring about 900 others, destroying a number of buildings and causing a bullet
train to derail, government and police officials said.

The initial temblor that struck at 5:56
p.m. registered upper 6 on the 7-point Japanese scale in Ojiya, Niigata
Prefecture, followed by aftershocks of the same scale, the Meteorological
Agency said. It warned of further powerful aftershocks.

At 6 p.m., the government established a
disaster task force at the prime minister's official residence.

In Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture, a man in
his 30s died after being buried under the rubble of a wall that collapsed at a
restaurant. Some 50 to 60 injured people have been admitted to Niigata
Prefectural Tokamachi Hospital, local government officials.

In Ojiya, one person was confirmed to have
been killed in the disaster. A house collapsed and a landslide triggered by the
quake buried a number of cars. About 30 injured people were rushed to a local
hospital. Police officers rushed to the landslide scene to rescue people
trapped in a car while trying to confirm if anybody in the collapsed house was
injured.
