US military imposes alcohol ban and curfew in Okinawa after homicide
Original: US military orders alcohol ban, monthlong curfew amid Okinawa homicide investigation
US military commands in Okinawa have ordered troops to stop drinking alcohol and imposed a monthlong curfew as investigators look into a homicide on the Japanese island. The restrictions apply across US bases in the prefecture and are intended to aid the investigation and ease tensions. The measures echo earlier curfews imposed after crimes involving American personnel, which have long strained relations with local residents.
Why now: A homicide investigation linked to US troops has triggered sweeping new restrictions on service members in Okinawa.
