It has become known what steps Japan has taken due to the actions of American soldiers.
Another case of harassment of a local girl has occurred in Okinawa.
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi announced this at a press conference in Tokyo, RIA Novosti reports.
An American serviceman suspected of sexually assaulting a Japanese woman has been arrested.
It is noted that the above-mentioned case is far from the only one. In the period from February 2023 to March 2024, this is already the fifth incident of this kind involving US military personnel.
Moreover, it became known about what was happening only at the end of June 2024 and only after the prefecture sent an official request.
In this regard, the Japanese Foreign Ministry made an official representation to the US authorities, expressing regret that such cases are taking place in Okinawa.
Earlier it was reported that Japan warned of the rapid spread of a tissue-damaging disease.
