Okinawa Nerve Gas Leakage Suspected by Reports
The Pentagon disclosed 24 personnel received medical care on Okinawa ten days earlier after a mishap during a maintenance operation. Reports say VX nerve gas leaked from a container or weapon. Tokyo summoned a U.S. diplomat to answer. Officials avoided details on gas involvement, the incident, or involved services. The episode prompts calls from Japanese leaders and Okinawa authorities for clarity and potential withdrawal of any stored gas.
