Japan Court orders Okinawa approval for US runways
The Fukuoka High Court Naha branch orders Okinawa's governor to approve the Japanese government's modified plan for landfill work at a key US military base relocation site, overriding local opposition. The decision, focused on stabilizing the site's soft ground, accelerates construction and highlights Okinawa's strategic importance in the Japan-US military alliance amidst growing tensions with China and Japan's military expansion in the southwest.
