According to Taketomi Town, on August 30, residents contacted us that they found what appeared to be rocket fragments on the coast of the Hososaki district of Kohama Island.



The town confirmed that the debris was about 4 meters long and 2.5 meters wide and was painted white, with Chinese characters such as "China" and "Kouten" written in blue.



According to the town, the place found was a sandy beach about 500 meters away from the place where people live, there was no smell of oil, and no damage was confirmed so far.



In addition, residents had confirmed that debris had been caught on a rock about 200 meters offshore from around August 15, so the town was swept away by the high waves of Typhoon No. 12 that passed nearby late last month, and the coast. I think it was launched in.



The Taketomi Town Disaster Prevention and Crisis Management Division has decided to dispatch staff to the site on the 2nd to investigate in detail, considering that there is a possibility of rocket fragments in China due to the characteristics of the characters.
