TOKYO — A 6.8-magnitude earthquake rocked Japan's northwest coast on Monday, reportedly killing at least four people. The quake injured more than 400 people, flattened hundreds of buildings and triggered a fire at a nuclear power plant.
Fire sirens could be heard in hard-hit Kashiwazaki city, and older buildings were reduced to piles of lumber. National broadcaster NHK reported more than 400 people were hurt, with injuries including broken bones, cuts and bruises.
Two women in Kashiwazaki died, an official at Kashiwazaki Central Hospital said on condition of anonymity, citing hospital protocol. NHK reported later reported that an additional two people had died.

"I was so scared — the violent shaking went on for 20 seconds," Ritei Wakatsuki, an employee of convenience store Lawson, told The Associated Press by telephone from Kashiwazaki. "I almost fainted by the fear of shaking."
Flames and billows of black smoke poured from the Kashiwazaki nuclear plant, which automatically shut down during the quake. The fire, at an electrical transformer, was put out shortly after noon and there was no release of radioactivity or damage to the reactors, said Motoyasu Tamaki, a Tokyo Electric Power Co. official.
Some 2,000 people in Kashiwazaki were evacuated from their homes, city official Takashi Otsuka said.
NHK reported nearly 300 buildings in the city had been destroyed. The force of the quake buckled seaside roads and bridges, and one-yard wide fissures could been seen in the ground along the coastline.
One of two people buried under a collapsed apartment house had been rescued, though the person's condition was unknown, police said. Separately, TV footage showed rescue workers and firefighters hacking at the roof of a damaged home searching for anyone trapped within.
A ceiling collapsed in a gym in Kashiwazaki where about 200 people had gathered for a badminton tournament, and one person suffered minor facial injuries, Kyodo reported. The quake also knocked a train car off the rails while it was stopped at a station. No one was injured.
The Meteorological Agency issued tsunami warnings along the coast of Niigata prefecture (state), but the warnings were later lifted. Waves as high as 20 inches were believed to have hit the coast, but no damage was reported.
The quake, which hit the region at 10:13 a.m. was centered off the coast of Niigata, 160 miles northwest of the capital, Tokyo. The tremor made buildings in Tokyo sway and was also felt in northern and central Japan.
The agency initially measured the quake at a 6.6 magnitude, but later revised that up to 6.8. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake registered 6.7 magnitude.
A series of smaller aftershocks rattled the area, including one with a 4.2 magnitude. Koichi Uhira of the Meteorological Agency warned that the aftershocks could continue for a week.
Several bullet train services linking Tokyo and northern and northwestern Japan have been suspended. Officials said water and gas services for Kashiwazaki's 35,000 households were suspended after reports of gas leaks, reports said. About 18,000 households in the quake zone were without power as of Monday afternoon.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe interrupted a campaign stop in southern Japan for upcoming parliamentary elections, rushed back to Tokyo and announced he would head to the damaged area.
"We want to do all we can to ensure safety ... and to quell everyone's concerns," said Abe, whose ruling party is trailing in the polls. "I want to get a picture of what happened and also want everyone to feel a little bit more secure."
Niigata Airport, which had suspended flights shortly after the quake, resumed services after finding no damage, Kyodo said.
Japan sits atop four tectonic plates and is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries. The last major quake to hit the capital, Tokyo, killed some 142,000 people in 1923, and experts say the capital has a 90 percent chance of suffering a major quake in the next 50 years.
In October 2004, a magnitude-6.8 earthquake hit Niigata, killing 40 people and damaging more than 6,000 homes. It was the deadliest to hit Japan since 1995, when a magnitude-7.2 quake killed 6,433 people in the western city of Kobe.

KASHIWAZAKI - Een Japanse kerncentrale die maandag werd getroffen door een aardbeving heeft radioactief water gelekt. Dat heeft een woordvoerder van een Japans energiebedrijf gemeld.
De reactor van de centrale Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, de grootste ter wereld, was op het moment van de beving buiten gebruik wegens regulier onderhoud, aldus het Japanse persbureau Kyodo. Eerder was al brand uitgebroken in het complex, maar die was snel onder controle.

TOKIO - Het dodental als gevolg van de aardbeving in Japan van maandag is opgelopen tot zeker negen. Zes vrouwen en drie mannen van in de zeventig en tachtig bezweken aan verwondingen die ze opliepen door het natuurgeweld, meldden de Japanse autoriteiten dinsdag.
