Blast at US Air Base in Southern Japan Injures 4 Japanese Soldiers

June 9, 2025, 4:40 pm

A blast occurred on Monday at a storage depot for unexploded ordnance at a U.S. base on the island of Okinawa, Japan, that left four Japanese soldiers wounded, officials said. Fortunately, none of the wounds are life-threatening.

The explosion took place as the troops were conducting work in a prefecture-operated facility intended for the temporary storage of unexploded ordnance, the majority of it from World War II and frequently found throughout the island. Okinawa was the location of one of the bloodiest fights during the war.

Prefectural authorities acknowledged that the injuries included injury to the soldiers’ fingers but would not say more.

In a statement issued by the U.S. Air Force, the accident occurred inside Kadena Air Base’s munitions storage facility, on a site being operated by the Okinawa prefectural government. The Air Force made it clear that ‘no U.S. servicemembers were involved in the incident’.

Japan’s Self-Defense Forces (SDF) said the explosion occurred when the troops were examining one of the devices at the storage facility. NHK television further reported that the explosion occurred while the team was trying to scrape rust from the ordnance. The SDF is probing the reasons for the explosion. This is the first such accident since the Japanese army started its unexploded ordnance disposal unit in 1974.

Even decades after the war, huge amounts of unexploded bombs, predominantly from U.S. forces are continually unearthed in Japan, especially in Okinawa. The island is thought to have as much as 1,856 tons of the ordnance.

In an earlier similar incident last October, a war-era bomb exploded at a commercial airport in southern Japan, creating a big crater and causing many flights to be disrupted.

Blast Outside CRPF School in Delhi: Authorities Probe Possible Khalistani Link

October 21, 2024, 11:35 am

Authorities in Delhi have launched an investigation into a possible Khalistani connection to the explosion that occurred outside the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) school in Rohini on Sunday, October 20, according to the news agency PTI on Monday.

The probe into a Khalistani link began after a social media post claimed the blast was retaliation for the alleged targeting of pro-Khalistan separatists by Indian agents. In a message shared on Telegram, the pro-Khalistan group Justice League India stated, “If Indian coward agency and their master think they can hire filthy goons to target our members to silence our voice then they live in fools world. They can’t imagine how close we are to them and how capable we are to strike anytime.”

The explosion, which was reported to the Delhi police at approximately 7:47 am IST on Sunday, did not result in any injuries. However, it caused damage to the school building, shattered the glass windows of nearby shops, and harmed a car parked in the vicinity. A foul smell was also detected at the site where the school wall had been damaged.

“Fortunately, no one was injured,” stated the police. Initial findings suggested that the explosive material resembled a crude bomb. Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage and checking the sewer line in the area to gather more information about the type of blast.

Specialized teams from the National Security Guard (NSG), the National Investigation Agency (NIA), and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) were also deployed to the location for further inspection.

In response to the incident, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi criticized the central government, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), over its handling of security matters in the capital. “The incident of a bomb blast outside a school in Rohini is exposing the crumbling security system of Delhi. The responsibility of law and order in Delhi lies with the BJP’s central government. But the BJP, leaving this work, spends all its time obstructing the work of the elected government of Delhi,” Atishi expressed in a post on X.

She further added, “This is the reason why the situation in Delhi today is like the Mumbai underworld era of the 1990s. Bullets are being fired openly in the city, gangsters are extorting money, and the morale of criminals is high.”

China Demands Justice: 2 Nationals Killed In Karachi Airport Blast

October 7, 2024, 11:18 am

China strongly condemned a devastating explosion near Karachi airport in southern Pakistan on Sunday night, which resulted in the deaths of two Chinese nationals and left another injured. The blast targeted a convoy carrying Chinese staff working for the Port Qasim Electric Power Company, and also caused injuries to several Pakistani citizens.

In a statement, the Chinese Embassy and Consulates General in Pakistan urged the Pakistani government to thoroughly investigate the incident and “severely punish” those responsible for the attack. The Embassy described the explosion as a “terrorist attack” and expressed deep condolences to the victims’ families, stressing the need for immediate action.

China Calls for Immediate Action and Security Enhancements

Following the blast, the Chinese diplomatic mission in Pakistan activated an emergency response plan, requesting Pakistani authorities to step up security for Chinese citizens, businesses, and infrastructure. The statement advised Chinese nationals in Pakistan to remain vigilant, heighten security measures, and closely monitor local developments.

“The Chinese Embassy and Consulates General in Pakistan strongly condemn this terrorist attack, express deep condolences to the innocent victims, and extend sincere sympathies to the injured and their families,” read the statement. “We are coordinating closely with the Pakistani side to manage the aftermath and ensure that justice is served.”

Massive Blast Shakes Karachi, BLA Claims Responsibility

Eyewitnesses reported that the explosion was powerful enough to shake nearby buildings at Jinnah International Airport. Videos circulating on social media depicted flames engulfing several vehicles and a column of thick smoke rising from the scene. Local authorities, including provincial home minister Zia Ul Hassan, confirmed that the attack targeted foreign nationals, specifically Chinese engineers.

Shortly after the incident, the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the blast, stating that the attack was carried out using a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device. The BLA has a history of targeting foreign nationals in Pakistan, particularly Chinese citizens, due to its opposition to Chinese investments in the region, including the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The group is fighting for the independence of the Balochistan province, which borders Afghanistan and Iran.

Recent Surge in Militant Attacks in Pakistan

This incident marks the latest in a series of violent attacks attributed to the BLA. In August 2023, the group launched coordinated assaults in Balochistan, resulting in the deaths of more than 70 people. The militant organization has long opposed Chinese development projects in the region, accusing Beijing of exploiting local resources at the expense of the province’s people.

Chinese nationals and projects have become frequent targets in recent years as Pakistan continues to face growing threats from militant groups. Despite security measures, this latest attack underscores the ongoing risks faced by foreign nationals working in the country.

As both nations navigate the aftermath of the Karachi blast, calls for enhanced security and diplomatic cooperation grow stronger, with China urging Pakistan to take swift action against those responsible for the tragedy.

North Korea tests underwater nuclear-capable attack drone

March 24, 2023, 1:33 pm

According to Al Jazeera, citing the North Korean government’s official news agency, KCNA, the country has conducted a test of a brand-new underwater nuclear-capable attack drone.

Notably, the drone was destroyed as part of the rehearsal to terrify the US and South Korean armed forces after operating continuously for 59 hours underwater. The new weapons system has been deployed and tested-fired by the North Korean military this week during a military drill directed by Kim Jong Un, with the aim of determining if it could produce a deadly blast.

According to KCNA, “This nuclear underwater assault drone may be launched at any coast and port or operated while being towed by a surface ship.” According to multiple media reports, the nuclear-capable underwater assault drone tested by Pyongyang can also unleash a “radioactive tsunami.”

As part of the experiment, the drone was dropped off in the ocean close to South Hamgyong Province on Tuesday. It drifted there for 59 hours and 12 minutes at a depth of roughly 80 to 150 metres (260 to 490 feet) before detonating on Thursday off the east coast of the province. Al Jazeera cited the South Korean news agency Yonhap as saying that the drone’s ultimate target point was a fictitious enemy port set up in the seas of Hongwon Bay.

A US B-1B strategic bomber returned to South Korea on Sunday to take part in a joint military exercise, just 16 days after its previous deployment, according to Yonhap news agency, citing the defence ministry. Pyongyang also launched another ballistic missile into the East Sea.
