Japan is reeling from the latest major earthquake to hit the country, which has left at least 13 people dead and search teams looking for survivors underneath collapsed buildings. Many people were also said to be in "cardiopulmonary arrest" - a term often used in preliminary reports in Japan before a death is officially confirmed. Rescue workers continue to search the rubble of Aeon shopping mall and a paper factory after the 6.8 magnitude earthquake hit Kyushu island on Tuesday. The region has faced more than 100 aftershocks on Wednesday as the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) warned residents there could be more to come in the following days.
