"Japan Halts Osprey Flights Following Fatal US Air Force Crash"

Japan has suspended flights of its Osprey aircraft and requested the U.S. military to ground all Ospreys operating in Japan, following a U.S. Air Force Osprey crash into the sea during a training mission. The cause of the crash is still unknown. The U.S. Pentagon stated that U.S. Ospreys continue to operate in Japan, and it is unclear if an official request to freeze Osprey flights has been received. Ospreys have had previous crashes, raising safety concerns and controversy over their deployment in Japan.
