Japan says it is prepared to shoot down a North Korean spy satellite rocket if it needs to
Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada told the Japanese military on Saturday to make the “necessary preparations,” as he could potentially “order the destruction of ballistic missiles.” The news follows an announcement by North Korea on Wednesday that Pyongyang is making its final preparations to launch its first military reconnaissance satellite. In a statement released by the Ministry of Defense, Hamada did not rule out shooting down the rocket used to launch the satellite.
The Japanese military will deploy ground-based Patriot Advanced Capability-3 interceptor missiles and Aegis-equipped destroyer warships carrying sea-based Standard Missile-3 interceptor projectiles, the statement added. North Korean state media KCNA reported on Wednesday that its leader Kim Jong Un had ordered officials to prepare to launch the country’s first military reconnaissance satellite.

The top diplomats from G-7 nations on Tuesday had condemned the North’s recent ballistic missile tests and reiterated their commitment to the goal of North Korea’s denuclearization. North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui said the G-7 was a handful of “egoistic countries” that doesn’t represent the global community. The meeting of the G-7 foreign ministers in Japan was a prelude to the summit of G-7 leaders next month in Hiroshima, Japan. North Korea’s nuclear program is expected to be on the summit agenda.
