A massive fire broke out in the Saganoseki district of Oita City, Japan, causing widespread destruction in a densely populated area near the fishing port. At least 170 buildings were destroyed and another 130 damaged, displacing nearly 200 residents and leaving 350 homes without electricity, while firefighters struggled against the blaze for over 12 hours amid strong winds. The local mayor Shinya Adachi and deputy chief Toshiyuki Shuto reported the severity of the fire, which resulted in one confirmed death, injured residents, and ongoing relief efforts, as Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi expressed condolences and the cause remains under investigation.
