Foreign Media: On March 31, Japan's Ministry of Defense announced that long-range missiles capable of counterattack have been deployed at two land-based Self-Defense Force bases, sparking discontent among local residents.
This marks the first time since World War II that Japan has deployed long-range weapons capable of striking enemy bases, signifying a historic shift in Japan's security policy.
The deployed missiles include an upgraded version of the 12-type anti-ship missile with a range of up to 1,000 kilometers, covering areas including North Korea and China's coastal regions.
The Japanese government emphasizes this is necessary for "exclusive defense," but local residents remain concerned about becoming potential targets, leading to sustained opposition.
