Over 5 000 Rally against Deployment of Ospreys in Okinawa
Pyongyang, June 20 (KCNA) -- Around 5 200 people rallied Sunday in Japan's southernmost prefecture of Okinawa against the planned deployment of MV-22 Osprey transport aircraft in Naha City of the prefecture later this year, according to Kyodo News of Japan.

Local officials and residents are strongly opposed to the deployment, given the plane's noise and history of fatal crashes during test flights.
