The incident is the latest in a decades-long series of troubling events eliciting anger from local Japanese communities toward U.S. military personnel as well as their own government.
Japan is demanding answers after a U.S. F-16 fighter jet dropped a practice bomb on private property miles away from a joint U.S.-Japanese airbase, the latest incident in a long, troubled history regarding the large U.S. deployment to its top Asia-Pacific ally.
The event occurred Wednesday, about three miles from the Misawa Air Base in Aomori, but the U.S. military reportedly did not notify the Japanese side until the following day, eliciting further anger from the local community and questions from the media. He denied speculation that an effort was made to cover up the incident, arguing that"local understanding is a major premise for maintaining and strengthening the Japan-U.S. alliance and for the stable presence of U.S. forces in Japan." Kono said that"the first step is to provide this information, and at the same time, it is important that safety is given maximum consideration and that no accidents occur.
"An F-16 Fighting Falcon stationed at Misawa Air Base released a training device 5 Kilometers off from the designated training range late Wednesday. The device is an inert object and there are no reports of damage or injuries. The cause of the incident is still under investigation," the statement said."The 35th Fighter Wing takes the safety and security of our host-nation and local community very seriously.
