According to Japanese media reports on the 16th, the Japanese government has begun considering deploying long-range missiles in the Kyushu region. According to reports, multiple Japanese government officials revealed on the 15th that this long-range missile has the ability to "counterattack other countries' missile bases" and other targets. The Japanese government plans to deploy it in the Kyushu region by the end of 2025. According to reports, the missile planned for deployment this time is an improved version of Japan's self-produced Type 12 surface to ship missile, with a range of about 1000 kilometers. The Japanese Ground Self Defense Force's garrisons in Yubu City and Kumamoto City in Oita Prefecture may become priority deployment locations, but the specific deployment locations will be coordinated based on the understanding of local residents. It is expected that local residents may express opposition to this. (New Society)
