Yes it is always hard to know what to maek of news media early reports of "explosions" -- coould be a lot of different things.
I'm still looking for reports on the web.
Prayers that there are no injuries.
TOKYO - An explosion was heard near a U.S. Army base south of Tokyo late Monday and police suspected an attempted attack on the base, Kyodo News agency reported.
The blast was in the area of the U.S. Army's Camp Zama, Kyodo said. The report did not say whether there were any injuries or damage.
Police found parts of a "launch pad" near the base, Kyodo said, and investigators suspected a "guerrilla attack."
Latest on the radio states the explosion was near the base and rocket launching parts were found.
