Japan in 'battle against time' to rescue New Year's Day earthquake survivors
A powerful earthquake struck Japan's west coast, causing extensive damage and loss of life. The earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.6, triggered tsunami waves along the western seaboard. Rescue efforts have been hampered by damaged roads and infrastructure. Several deaths have been confirmed, and there have been numerous tremors since the initial earthquake. Evacuation orders were issued for thousands of people, and many areas are still without power and water supply. The earthquake has also affected the nuclear industry, although no irregularities have been reported at nuclear plants. Additionally, damage has been found at a chip materials factory.
