- 5 years ago
Japan has reportedly redeployed a Patriot missile-defense system in the heart of Tokyo.
Japan's Kyodo News says the move is to strengthen security following North Korea's claimed firing of a submarine-launched ballistic missile.
The Patriot is capable of intercepting short- and medium-range ballistic missiles.
If confirmed, it would be the first time in just over a year that Tokyo has deployed the battery.
