Japanese officials say they asked the U.S. military to halt Osprey flights in Japan except for those involved in the search operations.

Denny Tamaki called on Japan’s defense and foreign ministries to request the U.S. military to suspend all Osprey flights in Japan, including in search operations. “I have serious doubts about Osprey safety even for their search and rescue operations.”
