“There are people who are still waiting to be rescued, and it’s a race against time,” Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said. “We will go all out to find and rescue as many people as we can.” Japan’s Self Defence Forces joined rescue workers in the search and rescue operations at the badly damaged Aeon Mall in the town of Kashima. A chimney collapsed at the Nippon Paper Industries Co’s Yatsushiro factory, trapping people under the debris, the Kumamoto emergency team said. Aso Kumamoto Airport was resuming operations after closing one runway on Tuesday, but officials said some flights may be cancelled.
