A fire has ripped through more than 170 buildings in a southern Japanese coastal city, burning overnight and still not fully extinguished, the national fire agency said on Wednesday.
Around 175 residents of the Saganoseki district of Oita city, some 770 km (478 miles) southwest of Tokyo, fled to an emergency shelter after the blaze broke out at approximately 5:40 pm (0840 GMT) on Tuesday, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said.
