Japan deploys missile interceptor near recent flight path
2017-09-20
[Stars & Stripes] TOKYO ‐ Japan is moving a mobile missile-defense system on the northern island of Hokkaido to a base near recent North Korean missile flyover routes.

Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera said Tuesday that a Patriot Advanced Capability-3 interceptor unit is being deployed at the Hakodate base on southern Hokkaido.

The relocation comes days after a North Korean missile was test-fired last week that flew over southern Hokkaido and landing in the Pacific off the island's east coast ‐ a second flyover in less than a month. The PAC-3 was brought from another base on Hokkaido.
