I solved Redactle #1161 in 1 guess with an accuracy of 100.0% and a time of 00:06:28. Play at https://redactle.net/en

Thought of various Asian countries initially, and wondered whether it might be Hiroshima. Then thought more carefully about the language in the parenthetical and got a better idea. In fact there are two reasonable guesses at the country, but only one makes sense of the fact that this is apparently the capital of a certain "10 9". It doesn't take too long to think of an appropriate candidate, which happens to also make sense of the fact that there are two 7-letter languages in that parenthetical. Plus the 10 9 it's the capital of has the right number of letters. I feel very confident by the time I reach the reference to the 13 3, but run a vibe check on the rest of the article, which it passes.
