A bear injured four people in a residential area of Fukushima, Japan, on Tuesday before fleeing into a nearby industrial compound, prompting a large police response and the closure of local schools. None of the injuries were life-threatening. The attack comes amid a sharp rise in bear encounters across Japan, where authorities say a growing bear population and declining rural populations have contributed to more frequent human-wildlife conflicts. The government has expanded bear management efforts, including increased culling, trapping, and public safety campaigns.
