Heavy snow in Japan/ At least 45 dead and 500 injured in a few weeks

Heavy snowfall across Japan has left at least 45 dead and 500 injured.

The Japan Fire and Disaster Management Agency reported the data as Japan braces for more heavy snow this weekend.

The northwestern region of Niigata Prefecture recorded the highest number of deaths at 17, with over 170 injured.

Snowy conditions were seen in Aomori City and Wakkanai, with many vehicles stuck in the snow.

Authorities urged residents to remain vigilant for traffic disruptions and be wary of avalanches in areas with heavy snow from northern to western Japan.

The warning comes as Japan prepares for a general election on Sunday./CNA
