TOKYO (AP) — An explosion at a building in Tokyo’s Shimbashi commercial district on Monday shattered windows and spewed smoke, injuring four people, department officials said.

An explosion tore through a building in downtown Tokyo on Monday, scattering debris across a busy intersection and sending smoke into the air, but the fire was soon contained, Japanese media said.

The 390-meter-high (1,279 feet) skyscraper, inspired by a flaming torch, is set to become Japan’s tallest tower when it opens in 2027.
