		</div><p>A second earthquake of magnitude 6.4 has struck southern Japan in the same area affected by another quake earlier.</p>
<p>At least five people have been seriously injured.<br />
Police say they have received reports of collapsed houses and people possibly trapped inside.</p>
<p>Keisukei Urata, an official at Uki city, said he was driving home when the first quake struck in the nearby town of Mashiki in Kumamoto prefecture.</p>
<p>He said he saw some walls around houses collapsing.</p>
<p>Parts of the ceiling at Uki City Hall collapsed, windows were broken and cabinets fell to the ground.</p>
<p>Kasumi Nakamura, an official in the village of Nishihara near the epicentre, said the rattling started modestly and grew violent, lasting about 30 seconds.</p>
<p>&#8220;Papers, files, flower vases and everything fell on the floor,&#8221; he told NHK TV. He said there were aftershocks.</p>
<p>One aftershock measuring 5.7 struck about 40 minutes later, according to Japan&#8217;s Meteorological Agency.</p>
<p>The US Geological Survey put the quake&#8217;s preliminary magnitude at 6 and said it was 14 miles deep. It did not expect major damage.</p>
<p>Footage on NHK showed a sign hanging from a ceiling shaking violently.</p>
<p>File cabinets rattled, books, files and papers rained down to the floor, and one employee appeared to have fallen off a chair, while others slid underneath their desks to protect their heads.</p>
