Two Japanese F-35A stealth fighter jets have made emergency landings at a commercial airport in northern Japan, but there were no injuries or damage, officials said.

The fighter jets were on a training flight from Misawa Air Base and landed safely at nearby Aomori Airport after one developed an unspecified mechanical problem and requested an emergency landing, airport officials said.
