An eight month-old baby has been rescued from under the rubble of a collapsed home, after a deadly earthquake hit southwest Japan yesterday

The baby was found unharmed under a pillar.

At least nine people are dead, and more than 1,000 were injured.

The magnitude 6.4-quake was shallow and struck on land - its intensity was similar to Japan's devastating earthquake in 2011.
