29. Aum Shinrikyo Cult Against Japanese Civilians, 1995: 12 Casualties, 5,511 Wounded
The year following Aum Shinrikyo’s first sarin attack in Matsumoto, it engaged in a more massive, and much more lethal, assault in the capital city of Tokyo. During the morning rush hour on March 20, 1995, cult members released a chemical similar to sarin on five different Tokyo subways.
In the attack, 13 people died, 54 were seriously wounded, and thousands more were wounded. The entire city went into a state of crisis. The cult never confessed to carrying out the attacks, but in 2018, the Japanese government executed the leader Shoko Asahara and other cult members.
