At least 1 dead after U.S. military aircraft crashes into the sea near Japan

At least one person has died after a U.S. military Osprey aircraft with six people on board crashed into the sea near an island off southern Japan on Wednesday morning, officials said.
A regional coast guard spokesperson confirmed to NBC News that the plane crashed into the ocean near Yakushima, an island about 45 miles south of the Kagoshima region on the southern main island of Kyushu. The coast guard said in an earlier statement that eight people were on board the plane, a figure that was revised downward.
