　陸上自衛隊の輸送機Ｖ２２オスプレイが訓練で離陸の際、機体の一部が地面に接触して損傷する事故があり、陸自は２８日までに全機の飛行を見合わせた。機体には１６人が搭乗していたが、けが人はなかった。
　防衛省によると、２７日午前１１時４０分ごろ、沖縄・与那国島の陸自与那国駐屯地で、オスプレイが離陸直後に機体が左右に揺れて姿勢が不安定になり、左翼の下部が地面と接触。機体の一部が損傷した。同機は日米共同統合演習「キーン・ソード」で負傷者を搬送する訓練中で、搭乗員５人とほかに１１人が乗っていた。
　陸自オスプレイは全１７機を運用する計画で、２０２０年から千葉県の木更津駐屯地に暫定配備を始めている。損傷事故は初めてで、原因が判明し、対応策が徹底されるまで運用を一時中止する。（2024/10/28-10:49）
