Japan says apparent N.Korean missile likely fell outside EEZ

The Japanese government says it has submitted a complaint after North Korea launched at least one ballistic missile Monday afternoon. There are no reports of damage so far.

Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi Yoshimasa says: "North Korea's actions threaten the peace and security of not only Japan and the region but also others in the international community. Ballistic missile launches violate UN Security Council resolutions and are a serious issue that affects people's safety. We lodged a strong protest and strongly condemned Pyongyang."

The defense ministry says the launch happened about 3 p.m. The missile flew northeast and is suspected to have fallen outside Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone in the Sea of Japan.

The ministry says the missile flew more than 250 kilometers with a maximum altitude of about 50 kilometers.

South Korea's military says the North fired what appeared to be multiple short-range ballistic missiles from near Pyongyang toward the Sea of Japan.

This is the fourth time the North has launched one or more ballistic missiles this year, and the first since April 2.

Japan defense chief: No abnormalities found so far in choppers' flight recorders

Japan's Defense Minister Kihara Minoru says no abnormalities have been confirmed so far in the data retrieved from the flight recorders of two Maritime Self-Defense Force helicopters that crashed on Saturday.

The SH-60K patrol helicopters, each with a crew of four, crashed off Torishima Island in the Izu Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The accident left one person dead and seven others missing.

Kihara told reporters on Monday that the two flight recorders recovered on Sunday are still being analyzed.

He said an investigation committee will examine the data and other information to determine the cause of the accident.

Kihara said the Self-Defense Forces and the Japan Coast Guard are continuing to search for the missing.

The minister added that he has issued instructions for thorough aircraft safety management and the entire Self-Defense Forces will take all possible measures to ensure safety in operating the aircraft of the Ground, Maritime and Air Self-Defense forces.

Japan's Defense Ministry says flight recorders of crashed aircraft recovered

Japan's Defense Ministry says that two flight recorders have been recovered, along with other debris which they believe are from two Maritime Self-Defense Force helicopters that crashed.

Communication with the helicopters was lost late Saturday night when they were about 270 kilometers east of Torishima Island in the Pacific Ocean.

The ministry says that the recorders were found in the proximity of the area, and a mid-air collision may have occurred.

The SH-60K helicopters, each carrying four people, were engaged in nighttime training to search for submarines.

One person was rescued but later declared dead.

The ministry continues searching for the remaining seven people and will analyze the data from the recorders.

The Maritime Self-Defense Force has grounded all of its SH-60K aircraft.

Japan MSDF: Flight data show no abnormalities in crashed helicopters

The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force says flight recorders recovered from the site of Saturday's fatal crash of two of its helicopters show that no data have been found so far indicating the aircraft had any abnormalities.

Two SH-60K patrol helicopters crashed off Torishima Island in the Izu Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The accident left one of the eight crew members dead and the others missing.

The choppers were conducting nighttime training to locate submarines.

MSDF officials say that pieces of debris appearing to be a rotary wing blade and a door have been found, but the helicopters' fuselages have yet to be located.

As the waters around the site are about 5,500 meters deep, the MSDF plans to send an oceanographic observation ship to conduct a sonar search.

MSDF officials say it is highly likely that the two aircraft collided in mid-air.

They are continuing search efforts for the missing while investigating the cause of the accident.

Young doctor's family sues hospital in Kobe over his suicide

The bereaved family of a young doctor has filed a damages lawsuit against the hospital he worked for in the western Japanese city of Kobe, arguing that his suicide was caused by overwork.

The trial over Takashima Shingo's death opened at the Osaka District Court on Monday.

The 26-year-old doctor, who had been working for Konan Medical Center, developed depression and killed himself in May 2022.

His parents say he logged 236 hours of overtime in the month before his death. They argue that the hospital failed to reduce his workload, although it knew the long work hours could harm his mental and physical health.

The parents are demanding that the hospital's operator and its head Gu Eisei pay 234 million yen, or about 1.5 million dollars.

Takashima's mother told the court that the hospital had been cautioned by a local labor standards inspection office before her son died, and that his colleagues had demanded a better working environment.

The hospital asked the court to reject the case, saying that Takashima's workload was at a normal level and that he was not subject to excessive work.

Takashima was working for an academic society during the time when he was not seeing his patients.

The hospital says such activity is categorized as self-study.

It also says Takashima was not working the whole time he was at his workplace, and that the time spent for self-study does not represent work hours.

Iran's Khamenei does not refer to likely retaliation by Israel

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has praised the country's recent attack against Israel while not referring to likely retaliation by Israel.

Iran launched a massive attack against Israel from April 13. On Friday, explosions occurred in central Iran. Multiple US media reported that they were a retaliation by Israel.

Iran's state-run TV has reported that Khamenei spoke to commanders of the country's armed forces on Sunday. In the speech, he referred to the Iranian attack. He said the other side cares about how many missiles were fired or hit their targets, but it is significant that the Iranian people and military demonstrated their willpower to the world.

He did not touch on apparent countermeasures by Israel.

Observers say Iran's supreme leader indicated the country currently has no intention of raising tensions by carrying out further attacks.

On Saturday, another blast with unknown causes reportedly occurred at a base of an Iran-backed militia group in Iraq.
