June 15 (UPI) -- A bomb threat Thursday forced the evacuation of Yokota Air Base in western Tokyo, where authorities searched the regional headquarters of the U.S. Air Force before issuing an all-clear after nothing suspicious was found.
The base said it received the threat on Facebook around 10:20 a.m. local time, prompting officials to clear personnel from the 374th Airlift Wing command post, including a residential tower and several nearby buildings.
