At least six people were killed after heavy rain triggered floods and landslides in a remote area of central Japan that was hit by a major quake this year, local media reported Monday.

Public broadcaster NHK and other outlets said six were dead, while a fire department official told AFP that one had died and five were “in a state of cardio-respiratory arrest”, a term used in Japan before a feared death can be confirmed by a doctor.
