In Japan, a tense situation is currently unfolding as a person suspected to be armed has taken control of a post office, holding two women as hostages.
The events leading up to this began earlier when the same individual reportedly shot and injured a doctor and a patient at a nearby hospital in Toda, a city located west of Tokyo.
Local authorities are actively managing the situation, urging residents in the Chuo 5-chome area of Warabi city to follow evacuation protocols as the standoff continues.
Per details shared by city authorities and media sources, the suspect is believed to be in possession of a firearm.
Prior to the hostage situation at the post office, a fire had also broken out at a residence in Toda, thought to be the suspect's apartment, prompting an investigation into potential connections between the incidents.
As the events continue to unfold, details remain fluid, with authorities yet to confirm the full extent of the injuries sustained by those involved.
