        Japanese officials said a boy was injured in Okinawa on Wednesday when a metal window frame fell from a U.S. military helicopter, the second such incident in the past week on the southern island.
        
        Officials from the city of Ginowan said the window fell from a CH-53 transport helicopter and landed on a school playground, leaving a boy with minor arm injuries. About 50 children were outside the school, which is next to the Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, at the time.
        
        Last week, a part of another U.S. military helicopter fell on a nearby kindergarten roof, but no one was injured.
