Sniffer dogs assisted in the final search of the Aeon mall in Kumamoto, Japan, following a deadly earthquake. The mall was damaged by an explosion triggered by the quake, which occurred three days prior. As of Friday, 11 people had been recovered, including seven fatalities, according to government spokesman Minoru Kihara. The search aimed to confirm there were no remaining survivors inside the structure. The earthquake, which struck on Tuesday, has resulted in a total of 35 deaths. Rescuers used the trained dogs to ensure the site was fully cleared. The operation marked the final phase of efforts to locate any remaining individuals. The use of sniffer dogs highlighted the ongoing response to the disaster. The government continues to assess the situation and provide updates.
