A CV-22 Osprey from US Forces Japan's Yokota Air Base made a precautionary emergency landing at the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Utsunomiya Airfield in Tochigi prefecture at about 15:00 local time on the 10th. Japan's Defense Ministry notified local governments by the 12th. The US said the landing was a "precautionary landing" to avoid an accident; the aircraft departed the airfield on the 11th. No injuries or damage have been confirmed. The Defense Ministry has not released the flight route or the cause of the landing.

Today (12th) China launched its first double‑deck bulk rail‑sea intermodal half‑height container train from Baotou Wanshuiquan South station, Inner Mongolia, to Huanghua port, Hebei. The service links double‑deck rail transport with sea shipping without re‑boxing: standard 2.6m containers are compressed to 1.7m half‑height units compatible with existing port‑rail handling, enabling single‑box end‑to‑end transfer, cutting more than five transshipment steps and reducing unit transport cost by over 25%. The operator describes the option as a no‑rebox, no‑open, one‑box‑through logistics solution for bulk cargo.
