A bear injures 4 people in a residential area of Japan as the annual number of attacks rises

A black bear injured four people in a residential area of Fukushima, Japan, as part of a rising trend in bear attacks. The incident involved employees at a steel works and a neighboring resident, with the bear remaining at large. Japan's government has intensified bear population control measures, including culling and increased monitoring, due to a growing bear population and declining human population in the region.
