The Japan Meteorological Agency said the earthquake had a depth of 10km (6.2 miles) and hit the country’s Kumamoto prefecture at 4.27pm local time, measuring at the highest possible level seven on Japan’s Shindo seismic scale of shaking intensity.

In 2016, Kumamoto was hit by two devastating earthquakes – one of magnitude 6.5, followed by one of magnitude 7.3 two days later – killing 273 people and injuring more than 2,800 others
