Tokyo is reportedly considering deploying long-range missiles to Kyushu, a move analyst says could deny Chinese ships access to the Pacific.
Japan warned Beijing of "significant costs" for a Taiwan Strait attack and is reportedly considering deploying long-range missiles to Kyushu by March 2026. The missile deployment aims to improve security in the Nansei Islands, deter Chinese aggression near Taiwan and the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands, and demonstrate Japan's commitment to regional security and its alliance with the US.
