A US Osprey military aircraft, with eight crew members on board, crashed off the coast of Yakushima Island, south of Japan’s Kyushu island. The crash occurred, and details remain uncertain about any survivors. The coastguard reported finding one unconscious person at the scene, attempting resuscitation. The incident comes after another Osprey crash in northern Australia in August, resulting in three US marines’ deaths among the 23 on board. The Osprey, a tilt-rotor military aircraft, has a history of fatal crashes. Rescue efforts and investigations are ongoing around Yakushima Island, and Japan is coordinating with US authorities to assess the situation.
