A powerful earthquake that struck central Japan on January 1 has left at least 161 dead, with 103 people still missing, according to a new toll announced by local authorities on Monday morning.

The earthquake of 7.5 magnitude, triggered landslides and was followed by a tsunami, resulting in approximately 560 injuries, as reported by the statement from the hardest-hit Ishikawa prefecture.
