ASDF to supply drinking water to eruption-hit Tonga

Preparation is under way at the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force's Komaki base in Aichi Prefecture, central Japan, on Jan. 20, 2022, to airlift drinking water to Australia for supply to Tonga. An undersea volcanic eruption in mid-January triggered a tsunami that caused severe damage to the South Pacific island nation. The Self-Defense Forces airplanes carrying potable water left Komaki Air Base in Aichi Prefecture on the night of the day.
