The world’s oldest person is dead – was 116 years old
The world’s oldest person, the Japanese Tomiko Itooka, has died. She was 116 years old.
She was born on May 23, 1908 in Osaka – four months before the Ford Model T was launched in the United States. She was one of three siblings and experienced world wars as well as pandemics.
In her older days, Itooka liked bananas and Calpis, a popular Japanese yogurt-flavored drink.
Itooka was recognized as the world’s oldest person after Spain’s Maria Branyas Morera died in August 2024 at the age of 117.
Now the world’s oldest person is considered to be the 116-year-old Brazilian nun Inah Canabarro Lucas, who was born 16 days after Itooka.
As of September, Japan had more than 95,000 people who were 100 or older—88 percent of whom were women.
Of the country’s 124 million inhabitants, almost a third are 65 or older.

Denmark: Investigates drone alarm near Sweden
During late Friday evening, several large drones were seen over the harbor in Køge, about half an hour south of Copenhagen and five miles southwest of Malmö.
But who or who flew the drones or for what purpose is still unclear.
– We think we have identified four, but it is a bit difficult to say whether some of the drones have been the same, says Asger Bechstrøm, officer on duty at the Midt and Vestsjællands police.
The police received the alert about the drones at 10.30pm on Friday and when a patrol arrived in the area they saw four drones.
– There is a whistleblower who says he has seen up to 20 drones. He also has a video where it looks like there are more drones. But I can’t say anything for sure about the number.
The last drones were seen just after one o’clock in the morning, when they disappeared over the sea at high speed, the police said in a press release on Saturday.
