Bears kill seven in Japan; what's driving this deadly rise?
Japan is grappling with a shocking surge in fatal bear attacks. This year, seven people have died, with many more injured. The number of attacks is reaching record highs.
It's a terrifying reality for many.
Experts are investigating why these encounters are becoming so deadly. Factors like declining food sources and increased bear activity in human areas are suspected. The government vows tougher measures to protect its citizens.
