Vandals target churches in Kansai
It looks like somebody doesn’t care much for the presence of Protestant churches in Kansai:
Windows were smashed and fire extinguishers thrown inside churches in the prefectures of Osaka, Hyogo, Kyoto and Shiga, the Asahi said, citing local police. Some of the fire extinguishers were stolen from nearby apartment buildings, the report said.
The church vandalism cases in Osaka were confirmed by a spokesman for the prefectural police who would only give his last name, Okamoto. He declined to comment on a possible motive. Ashiya, west of Osaka, recorded two attacks in October, police spokesman Yusuke Matsushita said, while three attacks were reported this year in central Kobe.
