Japan's defense minister says two Japanese navy helicopters are believed to have crashed in the Pacific Ocean south of Tokyo during night-time training.
Two Japanese navy helicopters carrying eight crewmembers were believed to have crashed in the Pacific Ocean south of Tokyo during a night-time training exercise, and rescuers were searching for the missing, Japan’s defense minister said. The two SH-60K choppers belonging to the Maritime Self Defense Force and carrying four crew each, lost contact late Saturday near Torishima island in the Pacific about 370 miles south of Tokyo, Defense Minister Minoru Kihara told reporters.
The other aircraft lost contact about 25 minutes later. One belonged to an air base in Nagasaki, and the other at a base in Tokushima prefecture. The SH-60K aircraft is usually deployed on destroyers for anti-submarine missions. Saturday’s training only involved the Japanese navy and was not part of a multinational exercise, defense officials said. They said no foreign aircraft or warships were spotted in the area.
