Laser beams apparently aimed at U.S. military aircraft in Okinawa near Futenma

Laser-like rays were beamed at U.S. military aircraft flying near the Futenma base in Okinawa five times since July 2014, an official with the U.S. Marine Corps said.

The official said Monday that such flight-interfering activities “pose a threat to the safe operation” of aircraft at U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma.

The transport ministry said there have been at least 150 cases of lasers beamed at aircraft flying in Japan since July 2010.
