Breaking: Explosions At US Military Base In Japan

Story is still unfolding ....

Quote:
A number of sources are reporting massive explosions at a US Military Base in Sagamihara, Japan. It is likely that the blasts occurred at Sagami General Depot.

Reuters – The Pentagon said on Sunday it was aware of reports of an explosion at a U.S. military base in Sagamihara, Japan, but said it could not confirm the blast occurred on the base.

“We’re aware of the report, but we don’t have confirmation that the explosion occurred on the base,” said Pentagon spokesman U.S. Navy Commander Bill Urban.

Japanese Broadcasting Corp posted images and said multiple explosions had been reported at the U.S. military facility in Sagamihara, a city in the Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa, which borders Tokyo.

The report cited local authorities as saying the blasts occurred at the Sagami General Depot, a U.S. Army post which is used to store petroleum products and ammunition.

From RT.com – A series of explosions erupted early Monday morning, likely at Sagami General Depot, a US army outpost in Kanagawa Prefecture, on the outskirts of Tokyo.

The Pentagon has said it first heard of the explosion from news media, and is investigating.

“We’re aware of the report, but we don’t have confirmation that the explosion occurred on the base,” Pentagon spokesman, US Navy Commander Bill Urban, told reporters.

Ammunition is not normally stored in warehouses, it is stored in bunkers, which are hopefully still secure.
