A powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck Japan’s southern island of Kyushu, causing widespread damage and injuries.

Part of a shopping mall collapsed, leaving dozens of employees missing while others were rescued and hospitalized.

A tsunami advisory was issued but lifted within two hours, and officials reported no problems at nearby nuclear power plants.

Transportation was disrupted as bullet trains stopped, an airport closed, and a train derailed, the AP has reported.

Authorities continue to assess the damage and have urged residents to remain alert for possible aftershocks.
