A: Hey there, got some news for ya!
B: Hmm, not much happening here. What's up?

A: You wouldn't believe it! Two bear attacks happened in the same town on Saturday!
B: Whoa, really? Where and what happened?

A: It was in Minakami, Gunma Prefecture, north of Tokyo. First, a 76-year-old woman got attacked while walking her dog. She got hurt on the ear and buttocks from this adult bear! They said she had a fractured skull too. Sadly, this isn't the first time.
B: No way! That sounds terrible... I hope she's okay. Was there another attack?

A: Yes! Earlier in the day, around 1:30 p.m., a 64-year-old man was also attacked by a bear while picking mushrooms about eight kilometers away. He got a fractured facial bone and scratches on his body from the bear's claws.
B: That's scary... Bear attacks are becoming more frequent, huh?

A: You're right! Just last Monday, an elderly couple walking took a hit too. And don't forget that bear entered a supermarket in a neighboring city and injured two shoppers back on October 7th! Keep your eyes open, man!
