Ravaged by fire 2025-11-20    

An aerial view shows the charred remains of the Saganoseki district in Oita, southern Japan, on Wednesday, after a wind-driven blaze tore through the coastal community. More than 170 buildings were destroyed as firefighters and army helicopters worked through the night to contain Japan's largest urban fire in nearly 50 years, which killed one person, injured another and forced 175 residents to evacuate.
