Okinawa assembly demands halt to U.S. helipad construction

Members of the Okinawa prefectural assembly stand to approve a statement calling on the central government to stop construction of helipads in the U.S. military's Northern Training Area in the southwestern island prefecture during a session in Naha on July 21, 2016. The statement, citing safety and noise concerns if the Osprey aircraft are deployed as planned, says the helipads will cause adverse effects on the natural environment and people's lives.
