A bear injures 4 people in a residential area of Japan as attacks rise

TOKYO (AP) — A bear has injured four people in a Japanese residential area in the latest case of attacks by the animals in the region. Two men who work for Fukushima Steel Works and a third employee of another company in northeastern Japan suffered minor injuries Tuesday. The bear also attacked a woman who lives in the area. The Fukushima fire department says none of the injuries are life-threatening. Japan's Environment Ministry says 13 people were killed in more than 230 attacks by bears nationwide in 2025. Experts say the encroachment has occurred in a region with a rapidly aging and declining human population that has few people trained to hunt the animals.
