A fire broke out on a bus carrying 26 passengers in Japan’s Fukuoka prefecture about 9:00 a.m. local time for an unknown reason. Hundreds of meters away, smoke could be seen rising from the bus, which was completely engulfed in flames. All passengers and the driver were evacuated unharmed.
The fire was extinguished after two hours of effort, and an investigation was launched to determine the cause of the incident.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Germany sees a negotiated two-state solution as the only path forward and emphasized, “For Germany, recognition of the State of Palestine is still at the very end of the process. However, such a process must begin immediately.” Ahead of his visit to Israel and Palestine, Wadephul urged Israel to ensure the safe distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza and warned against unilateral annexation steps in the West Bank.
