## Resource

A massive rescue operation is underway at the Aeon Mall in Kashima, Kumamoto Prefecture, where the building's second floor collapsed and trapped multiple people inside following a powerful 7.1-magnitude earthquake that struck southwestern Japan on Tuesday, July 28, 2026. The disaster at the shopping complex was drastically worsened when a “deafening” explosion—suspected to have been triggered by a post-quake gas leak—ripped through the facility roughly an hour after the initial tremors.
