警方及媒体报道称，日本北部福岛县当地周二发生一起熊袭事件，造成两家工厂及一处居民区共4人受伤。
日本去年共有13人因熊类袭击丧生，创下历史纪录，而随着这些动物饥肠辘辘地结束冬眠走出巢穴，目击熊类的数量出现激增。
该县警方在一份声明中表示：“福岛市发生一起涉熊伤人事件，造成4人受伤。”
据《读卖新闻》援引警方及消防部门官员的话报道，这头熊最初在一家汽车零部件工厂被发现，当时有人紧急报警称“员工遭到撕咬”。该报补充说，目前仍未找到这头熊的踪迹。
《读卖新闻》称，在熊继续肆虐期间，又有两人受伤：一人在居民区，另一人在附近一家电子设备制造商的厂区内。报道还称，这头熊当时被认为仍留在工厂内。
报道指出，其中一名伤者伤势严重，其余三人仅受轻伤。
据官方数据显示，在截至今年3月的上一财年中，日本全国范围内的熊类目击事件超过5万起，是两年前创下的前纪录的两倍多。
这些动物几乎每天都会出现在机场跑道、高尔夫球场、学校附近，还会在超市和温泉度假区引发恐慌。此前有一头熊在一家超市横冲直撞了两天，最终工作人员用涂有蜂蜜的食物将其诱出，警方随后将其捕获并击毙。
熊患问题已经严重到美国国务院去年曾警告在日美国公民要警惕熊类袭击。
据当地媒体报道，今年熊类结束冬眠后，目击熊类的纪录再次被打破。
日本环境省数据显示，今年4月，熊类袭击造成1人死亡、5人受伤。
今年东京郊区也报告了十余起熊类目击事件，上月一名30多岁的俄罗斯男子在东京近郊徒步时 reportedly 遭到熊的袭击受伤。
日本一家生产外形凶猛的机器狼的公司在去年创纪录的致命熊袭事件后，接到了大量订单。
“怪兽狼”是一款电子动画稻草人，配备闪烁的红眼，会发出嚎叫和威胁性的低吼，用以驱赶野生动物。
科学家表示，袭击事件激增的原因是熊的数量快速增长，加上人口下降，尤其是农村地区的人口减少。
东京农业大学生物学家山崎浩二2023年在接受哥伦比亚广播公司记者伊丽莎白·帕尔默采访时表示，人口减少让熊“有机会扩大活动范围”。

Bear rampages through 2 factories and a residential area in Japan, injuring 4 people

A bear attack left four people injured in two factories and a residential area in northern Japan’s Fukushima on Tuesday, police and media reports said.
A record 13 people were killed by bears in Japan last year, and there has been a jump in sightings as the animals emerge hungry from hibernation.
“A bear-related human injury incident… occurred in Fukushima City, injuring four people,” the prefectural police said in a statement.
The bear was first spotted in a car parts factory, prompting an emergency call explaining that “employees had been bitten,” the Yomiuri Shimbun daily reported, citing police and fire department officials. The outlet reported the bear still had not been located.
As the bear continued its rampage, two other people were injured, one in a residential area and the other on the premises of an electronic equipment manufacturer nearby, the Yomiuri said, adding that the animal was thought to have remained inside the factory.
The report said one of those attacked was heavily injured, while the rest suffered only mild injuries.
In the last fiscal year to March, bear sightings nationwide topped 50,000, more than double the previous record set two years earlier, according to official data.
The animals have been seen on airport runways, walking on golf courses, roaming near schools and causing panic in supermarkets and hot spring resorts almost on a daily basis. A bear that rampaged through a supermarket for two days was lured out with food coated in honey, and police said the animal was trapped and later killed.
The problem was so bad that last year the U.S. State Department warned Americans in Japan to be alert for bears.
Record sightings have been reported again this year as the bears emerge from their winter slumber, according to local media.
In April, bear attacks killed one person and injured five others, according to the environment ministry.
There have also been more than a dozen bear sightings reported on the outskirts of Tokyo this year, with a Russian man in his 30s reportedly mauled as he hiked in the city last month.
A Japanese company making ferocious-looking robot wolves is being swamped by orders after record numbers of fatal bear attacks on humans last year.
“Monster Wolf” is an animatronic scarecrow with flashing red eyes that howls and growls menacingly to scare away wild animals.
Scientists say the surge in attacks has been driven by fast-growing numbers of bears, combined with a falling human population, especially in rural areas.
That depopulation has left bears “a chance to expand their range,” biologist Koji Yamazaki, from Tokyo University of Agriculture, told CBS News’ Elizabeth Palmer in 2023.
