Strong aftershocks rolled through Japan's northern island of Hokkaido early Saturday, but no injuries or damage were reported as residents set about sweeping up broken dishes and retrieving water from supply trucks a day after a major earthquake hit the area. A 6-magnitude aftershock was among dozens that followed Friday's magnitude-8 quake. By early Saturday, Hokkaido's state government said 572 people had been hurt, including 43 with broken bones and other serious injuries. Along the island's eastern coast, authorities suspended for the day their search for two fishermen who went missing and were believed to have been swept away by tsunami, ocean waves generated by seismic activity.
