Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera said Friday that another set of logs — this time from Air Self Defense Force activities in Iraq — were found on Thursday, the latest in a series of revelations that have reignited doubt over the ministry's civilian control over the SDF.
Onodera pledged to further probe the ministry's careless handling of data and promised to announce the result as soon as possible.
The logs found on Thursday were in a PDF format and included three pages covering three days of ASDF activities in Iraq, which in total spanned from 2003 to 2009.
