TOKYO (Reuters) - The remains of five additional crew members were found after a U.S. military Osprey aircraft crashed off western Japan on Wednesday, U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command said on Monday.

Last week, the remains of one crew member were found. Two crew members out of the five who were found on Monday were successfully recovered, though their identities have yet to be determined, it said in a statement.

The plane had carried a total of eight crew.
