TOKYO, Oct 12: Three Japanese nationals are still missing after the earthquake in Pakistan, with two Japanese victims already confirmed dead, the government’s top spokesman said on Wednesday.

“We have learned that three tourists are still unaccounted for. We have yet to learn whether they are safe,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroyuki Hosoda told a press conference.

Two of the missing are males in their 20s. The other person is a woman in her 40s, said a foreign ministry official, adding that all three were travelling separately in the earthquake zone.
