KURIHARA, Japan, June 15 (Reuters) - Water from a dam in quake-hit
northern Japan has started to leak, forcing rescue workers to abandon
efforts to pull out a man trapped in a landslide, a military official
said on Sunday.

The official said there were about 30 homes near the dam.

Local authorities, though, had yet to urge people in nearby Kurihara
city to evacuate. (Reporting by Elaine Lies; Editing by Sanjeev Miglani)
