Sakura Machi - the area encompassing Kotsu Center - is under massive redevelopment, and apparently some are not enamored with how the project is proceeding. Kumanichi reports that workers found seven gun shell casings within the grounds of their two-story prefabricated headquarters at 8:00 AM on 6/14 and sensibly called police, who subsequently determined from holes in walls and broken windows in the prefab itself that they were not dropped there by accident (six hits were found vs. seven shell casings, leading to the question: how do you miss a two-story prefab?!). The prefab was unoccupied during the incident, so no one was injured, and the dismantling of Kotsu Center and the attached department store is expected to proceed as planned.
It’s a shame the yaks would assault Kumamoto companies at any time, but particularly now, on the second-month anniversary of the foreshock.
