Japan has dismissed reports suggesting that the planned deployment of U. S. Typhon missile systems on its territory is aimed at Russia, Newsweek reported. According to Japan’s Foreign Ministry, the move is part of efforts to enhance joint operational readiness with the United States and has no connection to any specific country.
Officials clarified that the bilateral drills are intended to strengthen what they described as the «mobility and deployment capabilities» of comparable U.S. missile systems. They emphasized that these exercises are not directed against any particular state or region.
Earlier, Moscow voiced alarm over Washington’s plans to position Typhon missile launchers in Japan. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that such actions could destabilize the situation in the Asia-Pacific and pose a direct threat to Russia’s security. She cautioned that expanding missile capabilities near Russian borders risks undermining both regional and global stability.
