Five U.S. Marines are missing after a fighter jet and a refueling tanker plane collided and crashed in the Pacific Ocean off Japan's southwestern coast early Thursday morning.

The U.S. Marines say a F/A-18 fighter jet carrying two pilots and a KC-130 refueling plane carrying five crewmen took off from their base in Iwakuni on a routine refueling training mission. The collision took place about 100 kilometers out to sea near Muroto Cape on Shikoku island, according to a statement from Japan's defense ministry.

The ministry says a search-and-rescue operation launched by its maritime forces shortly after the crash found one of the crew members from the F/A-18 jet several hours later. The rescued pilot is in stable condition at the hospital on the Iwakuni base. A second Marine was later rescued, but no further details have been released.

The search-and-rescue efforts for the missing five Marines continues. The cause of the collision is under investigation.

Thursday's incident is the latest of a string of accidents involving U.S. military aircraft deployed to Japan. Two crew members of a U.S. Navy fighter jet were rescued alive when their plane crashed into the sea off the southern island of Okinawa.

The American military presence on Okinawa has irritated Japanese civilians on the island and created tension in the otherwise warm relations between the U.S. and Japanese militaries.

There have been several accidents involving U.S. military aircraft -- including parts falling off aircraft into neighborhoods -- as well as crimes by U.S. servicemen on Okinawa, including rapes, fights and drunk-driving incidents.
