The death toll from a powerful New Year's Day earthquake that struck Ishikawa Prefecture and surrounding areas in central Japan has surpassed 200, with over 100 people still missing, as a large-scale search operation started at a severely hit area, local authorities said Tuesday.
Local police will conduct the operation for several days, deploying around 100 personnel around a gutted market in Wajima, where a major blaze broke out following the magnitude-7.6 quake.
With the US becoming increasingly apprehensive over the fighting in the Gaza Strip and on Israel’s northern border, senior Israeli leaders met with visiting US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday.
In Israel for his fifth visit since the October 7 Hamas attacks, Blinken met in Tel Aviv with President Isaac Herzog, Foreign Minister Israel Katz, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
