[RUCCI]

The southern coast of Hokkaido, Japan's main island, was struck with a 5.3-magnitude earthquake on Saturday morning, which was felt near the capital Tokyo, the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA) reported.

No tsunami threat has been issued. The quake hit the country as search terms resumed rescue efforts for at least 16 people who remain missing after torrential rain and flooding swept across the country this week, triggered by Typhoon Etau.

Thousands are waiting to be allowed to return to their homes, as flood waters are slowly receding. A total of three people were killed and another 27 were injured in the floods, according to Kyodo News agency.

Japan kuna matatizo gani jamani mbona janga moja baada ya jingine yanafuatana? Hili la mafuriko bado halijapita linaongezeka na la tetemeko la ardhi? Tunahitaji kuwaweka kwenye maombi wenzetu hawa.

Tiba.

First and foremost, as you partly mentioned, we should pray for them.

Otherwise, everything happens for a reason, so is Japan....
