Japan has asked the United States military to ground all Osprey aircraft not engaged in emergency recovery operations following a training mission crash involving one of the aircraft.
A U.S. Air Force Osprey based in Japan crashed into the ocean off the country’s southern coast during a training mission Wednesday, killing at least one of the eight crew members. The search is still ongoing for the other seven missing crew members. At this stage, the cause of the crash has not yet been revealed.
