FILE - In this Aug. 25, 2016, file photo, a line of Japan Ground Self-Defense Force tanks flare up a smoke screen during an annual live firing exercise at Higashi Fuji training range in Gotemba, southwest of Tokyo. Japan’s latest defense white paper says the threat from North Korea has reached a “new stage” now that the country has acquired the capability to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile and its nuclear weapons program has advanced. The escalation of its missile development, though apparently mainly aimed at extending their range to the mainland U.S., has aided Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s effort to beef up the role of Japan’s military and its missile defenses.
