Japan is deploying missile interceptor units in western parts of
the country in response to North Korea's plans to fire missiles toward
the US Pacific territory of Guam.
North Korea says its ballistic missiles will fly over the 3 prefectures
of Shimane, Hiroshima and Kochi before landing in waters off Guam.
Air Self-Defense Force units in charge of PAC3 interceptor missiles left
for their destinations on Friday night. They are expected to arrive at 4
SDF camps in the 3 prefectures and neighboring Ehime Prefecture on
Saturday morning.
The units will install radar systems and launchers to prepare for the eventuality that missile parts will fall into the areas.
The Maritime Self-Defense Force is deploying a vessel in the Sea of
Japan. The vessel is equipped with the Aegis advanced radar system that
can track ballistic missiles.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
