Transportation was also thrown into confusion, with the Tohoku and Akita Shinkansen suspending service.

Literal

Tohoku-Akita Shinkansen [subject-が] operation [object-を] suspend-[and-する-など], transportation [also-も] confused.

News writing. ~など ('and so on, including') after a verb phrase creates an 'X-ing and other things' list: 運転を見合わせるなど ('including suspending operation'). 見合わせる is a formal verb meaning 'to put on hold, suspend temporarily.' 混乱する ('to be in confusion, chaos') has も showing 'also' — implying other things were also disrupted.
