Reports coming in indicates that Japan has ordered its military to activate its misile defence system with immidiate effect, this is coming as North Korea has threatened to continue the launching of long-range rocket next month, Japanese Defence Minister Naoki Tanaka has said.
Japanese Defence Minister also said the defence systems would be deployed near the island of Okinawa to shoot down the rocket should it threaten Japanese territory. North Korea says the rocket will put a satellite into orbit, but the US and its allies believe the launch is a pretext for a missile test.
