Thousands of tons of dead sardines wash ashore in northern Japan
Thousands of tons of dead sardines have washed up on a beach in northern Japan for unknown reasons, officials said on Friday.
The sardines and some mackerel washed ashore in Hakodate on Japan’s northernmost main island of Hokkaido on Thursday morning, creating a sliver blanket along a stretch of beach about a kilometre (0.6 miles) long.
