Fire engulfs Japan's Shuri Castle, a World Heritage site in Okinawa

A popular tourist attraction, Shuri was built more than 500 years ago as the royal castle of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The fire tore through the castle in the middle of its annual mid-autumn festival. It had been scheduled to be included as a stop on the 2020 Tokyo Olympic torch relay route.
