Debris recovered as search for missing Japanese military helicopter crew continues.
TL;DR Summary
Debris, including an unused lifeboat and a door, believed to be from a Japanese army helicopter that disappeared on Thursday with 10 crew members on board, has been found in the sea between Miyako and Irabu islands. The UH-60JA Black Hawk helicopter was on a reconnaissance mission in Japan's southern islands when it disappeared from radar only 10 minutes after departing from a base on Miyako Island. The cause of the crash is unknown, and the search for the missing crew members is ongoing. Japan is building up its defense capability in its southwestern islands in response to China's increasingly assertive military activity in the region.
