Japan has grounded its V-22 Osprey aircraft after a near-accident during a U.S. military exercise.

Japan has grounded its V-22 Osprey aircraft after an incident on Sunday during the U.S. military exercise Keen Sword, where one aircraft tilted and hit the ground during takeoff, carrying 16 passengers, including three U.S. service members. No injuries occurred. This incident follows a fatal crash last November that killed eight U.S. personnel and led to a previous grounding. Japan will investigate the cause, with support from the Pentagon's V-22 program office.
