Japan allocated 25,000 troops to the country's reconstruction

Tokyo .- Some 25,000 members of the Japanese Army have begun on Monday the third major search operation for the approximately 12,000 people still remain missing after the earthquake and subsequent tsunami on 11 March. In the operation assist the U.S. military and Japanese police and involves the movement of 90 aircraft and 50 boats, according to Japanese television NHK.

The search centers in the prefectures of Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima, the most affected by the disaster. The operation includes part of the evacuation zone of 30 km radius around the established central Fukushima-1 until now excluded from the rescue efforts. In Miyagi Prefecture, part of the efforts focus on a school where about 650 soldiers are deployed to remove debris carefully for the bodies of the 74 students who are still missing and believed they were in college in the time of the earthquake.
