At least nine people died when an earthquake shook southwestern Japan's Kyushu island late Thursday, the Kumamoto Prefecture disaster management office said.
Search crews scrambled to dig through rubble looking for people trapped under collapsed buildings.

"The ground shook for about 20 seconds before the 6.2-magnitude quake stopped," witness Lim Ting Jie said.
