TOKYO, Oct. 19 (UPI) --

A Web site posing as a Yahoo news site Wednesday carried a fake Kyodo news report saying Chinese troops had invaded the Japanese island of Okinawa.

The article, purportedly written by a Kyodo correspondent in the United States, said, "Chinese troops invaded Japanese airspace over Okinawa in the predawn hours of Tuesday, U.S. Department of Defense officials said," the Mainichi Shimbun reported Wednesday.

Both Yahoo Japan Corp. and Kyodo News Agency were furious at the hoax and said they were considering legal action against the owner of the site.

Gee, I don't know. I came across this news on Nexuscolony and assumed that they posted genuine news. No reason for NC to post fake news, is there?
