[Regnum] A bear attacked a woman walking her dog in the city of Toyama, Japan. NHK reported this on May 3.
According to the publication, the incident occurred in late April when the 40-year-old woman was taking an evening walk with her dog in a residential area near the sea coast.
According to city authorities, the bear fled after the attack. The collision left the victim with severe lacerations to her head, neck, and face. Doctors currently assess her condition as stable, and there is no immediate threat to her life.
A large-scale search operation was launched in the area in the morning. Law enforcement officers and hunters surveyed the area using helicopters and drones. The predator was not located.
Due to the ongoing danger, the administration adjusted the class schedule at nearby educational institutions, and parents were strongly advised to personally accompany their children to school.
