Japan Deploys Long-Range Missiles Amid Rising Tensions.

Japan has deployed its first long-range missiles, marking a major shift in its defense strategy. The upgraded system, with a range of about 1,000 kilometers, has been stationed in the southwestern region of the country. Officials say the move is necessary due to growing security concerns in the region, particularly increased military activity by neighboring countries. The new capability allows Japan to strike targets from a distance, which represents a change from its traditional self-defense-only stance. While the government views this as essential for national security, some residents and activists have expressed concern that it could increase regional tensions.
