Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A United States Osprey military aircraft with eight crew members on board crashed on Wednesday off the coast of Japan, the coastguard said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe received information at 2:47 pm (0547 GMT) today that the US military\u2019s Osprey crashed off Yakushima Island,\u201d a spokeswoman told a news agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were also notified that eight crew members were on board,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no further information at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, no casualty has been reported.<\/p>\n

The island of Yakushima lies south of Japan\u2019s southernmost main island, Kyushu.<\/p>\n

Japanese broadcaster NHK reported that the Osprey departed from the Iwakuni US base in the Yamaguchi region and headed for the Kadena base in Okinawa.<\/p>\n

NHK also cited defence ministry sources as saying that the aircraft was a CV-22 Osprey belonging to Tokyo\u2019s US Yokota air base.<\/p>\n

The tilt-rotor Osprey aircraft has a troubled history, with a string of fatal crashes over the years.<\/p>\n

Four months ago, a plane crash in northern Australia killed three US Marines among the 23 on board.<\/p>\n
