Reuters: Japan puts missile defense on alert as North Korea warns of satellite launch
Japan on Monday put its ballistic missile defenses on alert 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.

If they shoot a satellite launch down, I think an underwater nuke test off the coast of Japan would be in order. The japs are just begging for more radiation.
Your pro-North Korean? If it enters their air space, I would hope they shoot it down.
Too bad you don’t share that sentiment when it comes to violating US airspace. I’m not pro NOKO. But shooting shit down after fair warning is a lot worse than airspace violation
He obviously missed the word THEIR territory
