TL;DR

Japan has deployed soldiers to Akita prefecture to address a surge in bear attacks, with over 100 incidents and 12 fatalities nationwide since April, mainly in Akita. The military is assisting in trapping and culling bears as residents live in fear, driven by increased bear sightings linked to climate change and rural depopulation.
