Police suspected that it was an attack and that leftist radicals may have been involved, Japan’s Kyodo news agency said. No damage or injuries were reported.
In Washington, Maj. Timothy Blair, a Pentagon spokesman, said a blast was reported about 800 feet from the U.S. Army’s Camp Zama.
Two suspects reportedly were in police custody.
