Aftershocks rattled southwestern Japan on Friday after a strong quake the night before killed nine, injured at least 1,000 and left thousands without power or water, though nuclear plants in the area avoided damage.
By afternoon, more than 130 aftershocks had hit the area around the city of Kumamoto in the wake of the initial 6.4 magnitude quake the night before. Officials said the frequency was tapering off but the risk of further strong aftershocks will remain for about a week.
