The death toll from the seven-point-six magnitude earthquake that hit Japan's Ishikawa Prefecture on Monday climbed to 64.

According to Japan's Kyodo News and NHK, Ishikawa authorities said that at least 64 people have been killed as of 11 a.m. Wednesday. 

NHK said the number of injured was estimated to stand at a total of 370, including 304 in Ishikawa Prefecture alone. 

Local media outlets said that the death toll is feared to continue rising as many buildings collapsed and roads to the affected region have been rendered unusable.

Meanwhile, the quake has left 33-thousand-800 households without power and at least 95-thousand households with no water supply in Ishikawa.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said that as of 3 a.m. Wednesday, 448 tremors with magnitude one or higher were observed on the Noto Peninsula since the mainshock hit at 4 p.m. Monday.
