TOKYO — Japan took the rare step Friday of ordering battleships and missile interceptors to protect its northern coast in case a rocket launch by North Korea goes awry.
Still, Tokyo urged calm and said the likelihood of debris falling on Japan was low.
North Korea says it plans to launch its Kwangmyongsong-2 satellite April 4-8 and has designated a zone near Japan’s northern coast where debris is likely to fall.
