US military in Okinawa pauses operations after Marine's arrest

US forces in Okinawa have ordered an operational pause for two days starting Wednesday, to be followed by a 30-day curfew. The measures come after a Marine was arrested on suspicion of killing a local woman. The case is expected to renew tensions between Okinawa residents and the longstanding US military presence on the island, and to put pressure on US-Japan discussions over troop conduct and base politics.
Why now: The arrest of a Marine over a local woman's death has sparked anger in Okinawa and drawn attention to the US military presence in Japan.
