US military base near Tokyo came under fire

Unidentified persons fired at the US Yokota air base near Tokyo, there were no casualties.

Two home-made rockets exploded near the base on the night of Friday, reported the city police capital of Japan.

According to local residents, they heard explosions around midnight. Japanese law enforcement agencies found in the base of the fragments of improvised shells. "The police found two steel pipes, connecting wires, batteries, etc. Shelling did not cause any damage, shells have not yet been found," - said the representative of the city law enforcement agencies.

The police reported that the discovered pipes were buried in the ground and turned in the direction of the Yokota military air base.

"We confirm that an improvised launch device was detected outside the airbase," the statement of the American command says.

So far no one has claimed responsibility for the incident, however, according to the police, the attack is the work of militants from the ultra-left organization, who demand the withdrawal of American troops from Japan.

Six such incidents have been recorded in the past. So, in April 2003, the American airbase fleet Atsugi in Kanagawa Prefecture was shot at by similar homemade shells. In September 2008, using similar weaponUnidentified attackers attacked a US naval base in Yokosuka. In both cases, no one was hurt.

In Japan, almost 50 thousands of US military personnel and their families are stationed.

        These are not rebels, but brave fighters for the independence of the Japanese islands from a foreign yoke. And so it’s necessary to call them in the press, fighters for independence ... otherwise bandits, bandits .... well done guys. But I had to visit more precisely))))

      I, in their place, would also be against state bases.
      Anyway, if after WWII-Germany we would open our bases.
      Although the Japanese were sadists and lost the war, all the same, the US bases are very unpleasant for them,
      especially now, not against the backdrop of the rise of national identity in Japan, the formation of the army, of course, such positions will be strengthened.

      And the second is Yuki Misimo writer, bodybuilder and pedarast (although I do not like such an estate))) but the PERSONALITY is outstanding ....
      He enjoyed popularity on the islands, was a member of the Shield Society, and in principle, he founded (supported at his own expense)) a militarized group with this name — these were practically the beginnings of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces ...
      In the year 70, he and three other comrades-in-arms seized the Commander of the base in Ichigaya and addressed the soldier from the Balcon with an appeal to protect the Emperor from the Conquerors .....
      His authority was high in Japan, portraits were on every corner, and he probably would have succeeded, but a penchant for sodomy))) or something else,
      not allowed to bring the CASE to its logical end))
      As a result, He acted as a Samurai opened his stomach (sepuku) with a knife) Hara hiri and a comrade chopped off his head (and also somehow clumsily, not once, as expected, but several times) .....
      But they buried him with honors as a national Hero ....

    Do you think the USSR is to blame for everything? The Japanese would be happy to break the contract themselves, but they only remembered the Khalkhin Goal, that's why they decided to wait until Stalingrad falls, after which they would certainly attack together with Turkey, and you and I would hardly discuss it here now. So ours died in WWII 40 million, but for some reason you regret the Japanese who were allies of Hitler. And during the nuclear bombing in Hiroshima in the first half of the year alone more than 150000 people died, including women and children, and in Nagasaki more than 75000. Although Japan was actually defeated at this point. So I advise you to better figure out where the barbarians are.

    Ronin (Jap. Ро, ro: Nin, lit. “wandering waves”, “wanderer”) - a declassified samurai of the feudal period of Japan (1185-1868), who lost the protection of his overlord or failed to save his master from death. The etymology of the term ronin dates back to the periods of Nara and Heian, when he meant servants who fled from the lands of his master. In rare cases - a wanderer who has no alien power over himself, a free warrior.
