Japan has recently taken the necessary steps to prepare for the potential destruction of North Korean ballistic missiles, as tensions between the two nations rise. Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada ordered the Japanese military to get ready to shoot down North Korea's first spy satellite rocket. Troops have been dispatched along the southern prefecture of Okinawa and nearby islands to minimize any damage that may result from a ballistic missile fall. Japan has the capability to do this through ground-based Patriot Advanced Capability-3 interceptor missiles and Aegis-equipped destroyer warships, which are equipped with sea-based Standard Missile-3 interceptor projectiles.



Yasukazu Hamada also urged the military to take all necessary precautions. As North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un, has ordered officials to launch the country's first military reconnaissance satellite and asked for more to be launched, Japanese forces have been told to be on the alert for any debris falling into Japanese territory. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has given the green light for the use of missiles.



Kim Jong-un made the visit to the country's space agency, the National Aerospace Development Administration, accompanied by his daughter Kim Ju-ae, believed to be 11. He stressed the importance of such crafts to protect national security and called them an 'indispensable right to national sovereignty and self-defence'.



It is clear that Japan is taking the necessary steps to protect its citizens and respond to any potential threats in a responsible and proactive way. If you have any further questions or information regarding this story, please get in touch with our news team by emailing us at email.
