09.06.2025 โ‡ข Day SDF Members Wounded in Okinawa Ordnance Blast
โŒจFour Japan Self-Defense Force members were injured during unexploded ordnance disposal work near U.S. Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, with reports evolving throughout the morning to clarify the blast occurred during routine wartime munition removal rather than at the base itself.

Economic data showed Japan's GDP contraction narrowed to 0.2% annually from initial 0.7% estimates, driven by stronger personal consumption than previously calculated. The revision provided modest relief amid ongoing currency pressures from previous days' yen weakness.

The government announced plans to link foreign residents' health insurance payment compliance to visa renewal decisions by 2027, representing a significant policy shift connecting social welfare adherence to immigration status. The system will begin tracking payment records in 2026.

Former yokozuna Hakuho officially departed the Japan Sumo Association to develop the sport internationally, marking his complete break from traditional sumo administration. The rainy season began across Tokai, Kinki, and Chugoku regions, with warnings issued for Kagoshima Prefecture.
