On Wednesday, Japan attempted to intercept a missile fired from a battleship in the pacific ocean--its attempts failed, but experts are unsure as to what caused the mishap. This was Japan's second attempt to intercept a missile, the first attempt being a successful one that occurred last year. United States military officials have stated that the failed attempt is a non-issue because the involved have a great track record of successfully completing these tests. They claim that one mistake is not a significant one.
Japan has invested a great deal of money into its missile defense systems in recent years, hoping to ward off any possible threats posed by North Korea. The main supporters of this increase in defense has been the United States, and they say they will continue to support their allies with whatever they may need. U.S. officials claim they will provide further testing and will investigate this incident in order to prevent it from happening on future tests.
