Swedish fashion chain Hennes and Mauritz AB says it has closed nine of its 10 stores in Japan.

A company official says the company temporarily closed its nine stores, all located in the Tokyo region, earlier this week because its employees were concerned about the nuclear crisis.

Another store planned to open Saturday has been postponed. H&M also operates a store in Osaka but that location remains open.

H&M operates more than 2,200 stores in 38 countries.
