Japan could legally intercept a Guam-bound North Korea missile: Kyodo
[REUTERS] Japan could legally intercept a  North Korean missile headed towards Guam, Defence Minister Itsunori Onodera said on Thursday in remarks reported by Kyodo news service.Onodera told a lower house of parliament committee that Japan would be allowed to hit a missile headed towards the U.S. Pacific territory if it was judged to be an existential threat to Japan, Kyodo said. This is a reiteration of the Japanese government's position. Experts say Japan does not currently have the capability to shoot down a missile flying over its territory headed for Guam.
