 Japanese rescuers found the wreckage of a crashed military helicopter and recovered the bodies of five of the 10 people who had been on board, Japanese media reported on April 16. The aircraft disappeared from radar on April 6, while flying over the sea near Miyako Island, part of Japan's Okinawa Prefecture. A senior ground self-defense force commander, Lieutenant General Yuichi Sakamoto, was among those on the flight. SDF divers found part of the fuselage of the helicopter and confirmed five bodies were submerged at a depth of 106 meters below the ocean's surface, about 6 kilometers north of Irabu Island, according to Japan's public broadcaster NHK.
