Bear runs onto airport tarmac, halting flights

An airport in the Japanese city of Hanamaki temporarily suspended flights on Wednesday after a bear wandered onto its grounds.

The animal was spotted on the tarmac at 13:00 local time, halting flights for more than an hour.

Human encounters with bears have reached record levels in Japan. Thirteen people have been killed by bears this year, while more than 100 have been wounded.

The incidents have prompted authorities to deploy troops to hunt bears and help stop the attacks.
