The US has apologized to Japan over a recent series of accidents involving US military equipment that have sparked anger over American operations in the country, a ministry spokesman in Tokyo said.
US Secretary of Defense James Mattis apologized to Japanese counterpart Itsunori Onodera after a string of accidents including the emergency landing of an American military helicopter in Okinawa on Monday.
That came just two days after a similar incident on the southern Japanese island, where more than half the 47,000 American troops in Japan are stationed.
"The minister said there was an apology from Secretary Mattis Cheap Air Vapormax Off White ," a Japanese defence ministry spokesman told AFP.
"I told him about the issue, raising concrete examples of various accidents that happened in September, October, November, December last year and January this year in Okinawa Cheap Air Vapormax Pink ," Onodera told reporters after the talks.
Onodera has said he hoped to depart for Hawaii as soon as Tuesday to meet the top US commander in the Pacific, Harry Harris, to discuss the issue.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage after the helicopter landed near a hotel in the village of Yomitan on Monday.
But Okinawa governor Takeshi Onaga showed his frustration on Tuesday, saying "I am lost for words, really."
"I want them [the US military] to feel ashamed of their inability to be in control of what they are doing Cheap Air Vapormax Grey ," the top Okinawa politician said, according to Jiji Press.
Last month, a window from a US military helicopter fell onto a school sports ground near the Futenma marine air base in Okinawa, but again no one was injured.
