  "A series of explosions and a fire has been reported from a U.S.
   military facility in Kanagawa in Tokyo. According to Russia Today, the
   explosions were reported in the early hours of the morning from the
   facility. Initial reports suggest that the incident happened at the
   Sagami General Depot, a U.S. Army outpost located in the Kanagawa
   Prefecture located on the outskirts of Tokyo.
   
   According to local broadcaster NHK News, the first report of the
   explosions and the subsequent fire were reported just before 1 a.m.
   local time. Emergency personnel from the Sagamihara Fire Department,
   the nearest city, reached the site of the explosions soon after. At
   this time, there have been no reports of any casualties or injuries.
   
   The Pentagon has in a statement confirmed that there has been a fire in
   the Kanagawa facility and that local emergency services have been
   pressed into service.
   
   U.S. Navy commander and Pentagon Spokesperson Bill Urban added, "An
   explosion occurred today just after midnight Japan time at a building
   on a US Army post, the Sagami Depot in the city of Sagamihara, Japan,
   about 25 miles southwest of Tokyo. There are no reports of injury, and
   base firefighters and first responders are currently fighting the
   resulting fire to prevent its spread to nearby buildings. These are all
   the details we have at this time and will provide further information
   as we receive it."
   
   Meanwhile, several videos and photos of the explosions at Kanagawa were
   posted on social media websites soon after the incident happened.
   
   An eyewitness told NHK News, "I was asleep, and at first I thought it
   might have been the roar of thunder. But then there was a sequence of
   explosions for 10, maybe 15 minutes. A pillar of orange rose to the
   skies, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder."

  Local news channels reported that as many as 10 firetrucks were
   dispatched to the site of the fire. There is, however, no evacuation
   order in place.

   The news of this explosion in the U.S. Military facility in Kanagawa,
   Japan, comes just a few days after a massive explosion claimed several
   lives in the Chinese city of Tianjin."
