An eight-month-old baby girl has been rescued alive and unharmed from rubble after a 6.2 magnitude earthquake in southern Japan.Footage shows the child being carried to safety by firefighters after being trapped for up to eight hours.
A separate video has also emerged from inside a supermarket showing the moment the quake struck.
Frightened shoppers can be seen running, light fixtures and shelves shaking and items crashing to the ground.
At least nine people have been killed and around 800 others injured in the powerful quake which hit about 9:26pm (local time) on Thursday.
Some 40,000 people are said to have fled their homes when the quake struck and have spent the night outside.
One of the towns most badly affected is Mashiki, situated close to the epicentre, where fires erupted shortly after the quake hit, destroying many of its traditional wooden buildings.
