May 30, 2023: On Monday, Japan put its ballistic missile defenses on attention and warned that it would shoot down any projectile that threatened its territory after North Korea notified it of a satellite launch between May 31 and June 11.
Nuclear-armed North Korea says it has completed its first military spy satellite, and leader Kim Jong Un has approved final preparations for the launch.
“The government recognizes that there is a possibility that the satellite may pass through our country’s territory,” Japan’s chief cabinet secretary, Hirokazu Matsuno, told a regular briefing after North Korea informed the Japanese coast guard of the planned launch.
The order by the Japanese defense ministry, the first in response to a North Korean space launch since 2016, comes after Japan in April dispatched to the East China Sea a destroyer carrying Standard Missile-3 interceptors that can hit targets in space and sent ground-based PAC-3 missiles, designed to strike warheads closer to the ground, to the Okinawan islands.
A defense ministry spokesperson said that Japan expects North Korea to fire the rocket carrying its satellite over the southwest island chain as it did in 2016.
North Korean state media has criticized plans by its rivals, South Korea, the United States, and Japan, to share real-time data on its missile launches, describing the three as discussing “sinister measures” for tightening military cooperation.
Analysts say the satellite is part of a surveillance technology program that includes drones to improve its ability to strike targets during the war.
Kim in May inspected a military satellite facility, the North’s KCNA state news agency reported.
North Korea recently conducted a series of missile launches and weapons tests, including a new, solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told reporters that any North Korean missile launch would severely violate U.N. Security Council resolutions condemning its nuclear and missile activity.
“We strongly urge North Korea to refrain from launching,” his office posted on Twitter, adding it would cooperate with its U.S. ally, South Korea and other countries, and would do all it could to collect and analyze information from any launch.
