Rescuers in Japan have found more parts of a military helicopter a day after it disappeared from radar with 10 people on board, the coastguard said Friday. ManilaBulletin

Two pilots, two mechanics and six crew members were on board the UH-60JA when it went missing shortly before 4:00 pm local time on Thursday as it flew above waters off Miyako island in southern Okinawa.

Defence Minister Yasukazu Hamada appeared to hold back tears as he promised Friday to continue the search. Japan's military, which is limited to ostensibly defensive activity by the country's post-war constitution, has seen occasional accidents.
