Description

A single Asiatic black bear (approx. 1.5 m long) was sighted near Kuwano 5-chome, Kōriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. The bear moved from a residential area to Ōshima Nature Fureai Plaza and the Ouse Riverbank; the city and police set box traps, used fireworks to drive it away, and considered emergency shooting while warning residents and asking nearby elementary and junior high schools to refrain from sending students or to close temporarily. No human injuries have been reported.
