Roughly 9,500 in Minamisanriku — a town of 17,000 in Miyagi Prefecture in Japan — remain missing or unaccounted for, according to the Kyodo news agency, citing local government officials. On Friday, Japan faced twinned disasters — an 8.9-magnitude earthquake and a resulting tsunami. As of Saturday evening, police said that 621 were confirmed dead, with thousands more missing. More than 210,000 had been evacuated

Japan faced another crisis on Saturday after an explosion at a nuclear reactor in Fukushima Daiichi. Prefecture prompted evacuations within a 12-mile radius.

Meantime, attempts to map out the damage caused a day earlier were only beginning as Japan dispatched 50,000 troops to the disaster zone. The coastal town of Rikuzentakata, in Iwate Prefecture, was entirely submerged by water, according to local authorities. One TV reporter arrived at Iwaki, in Fukushima Prefecture, and reported that the entire town was gone. A hospital in Iwanuma had written “SOS” — in English — on the roof. A derailed train in Miyagi Prefecture, closest to the quake’s epicenter, was seen waylaid against the side of a house. There were no reports on the whereabouts of passengers.
