Sniffer dogs in Japan helped rescuers Friday make a final sweep of a shopping mall wrecked by an explosion after a big earthquake, as the death toll from the tremor three days earlier hit 35.
"At the Aeon mall, 11 people were pulled out as of last night (Thursday), among them seven dead.
As of Friday, 79,000 households had no water, but power cuts were resolved across the whole Kumamoto region, according to the land ministry and the utility.
One piece of good news was that 25 felines from a "cat cafe" inside the mall were rescued and transferred to Hiroshima, triggering widespread relief on social media.
Japan is haunted by the memory of a massive 9.0-magnitude undersea quake in 2011, which triggered a tsunami that killed or left missing around 18,500 people and wrecked the Fukushima nuclear plant.
