Japan takes steps to protect 50 thousand American troops located near North Korea

According to Japanese law, they write foreign media, records Telegrafi, drones are not allowed to fly over key objects such as the prime minister's office and the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.

However, the drones are not restricted by flight to over 80 American military objects deployed throughout Japan.

In a move to protect the 50,000 American troops based there, Japan's defence ministry has proposed limiting the use of fears on these objects.

If regulations are not established, fears could be used to carry out devastating terrorist attacks on American military bases, a senior defence ministry official has said.

It is the responsibility of the Japanese government to provide American Army security”, he was quoted as saying. We need to consider the necessary steps [to address the problem]”.

North Korea - located 1,043km from Japan - has about 300 fears of attacks at its disposal, according to UN estimates.

One of them, Jinmyeong Han, who escaped from Kim Jong's totalitarian state in 2015, said the drones are being kept underground to avoid outside detection.

My decision is that North Korea has 300-400 such fears”, he said.
