US Nuke Sniffer Aircraft Lands in Japan
A U.S. nuclear sniffer aircraft has reportedly landed at a U.S. military base in Japan.
Kyodo News on Tuesday quoted Japanese government officials and observers as saying a WC-135 Constant Phoenix arrived at the Kadena Air Base in Okinawa at 7:40 a.m. the same day.
It was presumed that before landing, the aircraft collected data over the East Sea to detect radioactive materials following North Korea's nuclear test on Sunday.
Usually stationed at the Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, the plane is also said to have carried out emergency missions near the Korean Peninsula several times before or after the North’s previous nuclear tests.
