US forces in Okinawa have begun a two-day operational pause from Wednesday, to be followed by a 30-day curfew, after a marine was arrested on suspicion of killing a local woman. The measure affects troops across the island, where the American military presence has long been a source of tension with residents. The case is expected to renew debate over the US bases and the legal handling of incidents involving American personnel in Japan.
Why now: The arrest of a marine on suspicion of murdering a local woman has reignited anger over the US military presence in Okinawa.
