Japanese live in fear after killer quake

STRONG aftershocks rattled Japan’s main island yesterday as residents cleared out debris after a powerful earthquake on Sunday killed at least one person and injured more than 200 people.

Troops, firefighters and police searched in light rain for missing people and worked to restore key services such as the water supply.

The region has been hit by more than 200 aftershocks since Sunday’s initial 6.9-magnitude earthquake, including tremors yesterday that registered 4.8 and 5.3 on the Richter scale, said the Meteorological Agency.
