Not much in the media so far. Anyone living near Camp Zama?

Word is small blast with no damage or injury. Some REMF must have dropped a frag or something by accident.

Or else it is those Red Army clowns again. I think they popped some small rockets off at US housing during the first Gulf War and managed to take out a tool shed.

Edit, found this:
The Army was investigating the blast, said an official at Camp Zama who spoke on condition of anonymity, adding that there were no reports of injuries or damage.

"A small explosion was heard in the vicinity of the base," said Maj. David Smith, a Pentagon spokesman. "It did not occur on the base."

Kyodo News agency reported that police had found a "launch pad" near the base and suspected an attempted guerrilla attack. The Army could not immediately confirm what had caused the explosion.
