Japan: SDF deploys missiles to Okinawa for drill

The Self-Defense Forces delivered surface-to-ship missiles to Miyakojima island of Okinawa Prefecture for the first time ever on Wednesday to conduct a military drill against warships.

The drill kicked off the same day at an SDF base on the island as part of a large-scale exercise that began Friday with the aim of beefing up the SDF's ability to defend remote Japanese islands.
