JapanA bullet train struck a bear in northeastern Japan on Tuesday morning, causing a temporary disruption to Shinkansen services between Akita Prefecture and Tokyo. The incident occurred around 7:30 a.m. between Wada and Ugo-Sakai stations in Akita. The train driver noticed the bear on the tracks and applied the brakes, but could not stop in time. After an inspection at Ugo-Sakai Station confirmed no issues, services resumed shortly after 8 a.m. The bear was not located afterward. On the same day, the Japanese government initiated a nationwide survey of bear populations in response to an increase in sightings and attacks, including some fatalities. The survey, involving camera installations in mountainous areas, will last until late September, with population estimates expected to be published within six months of its conclusion.
