Japan has ordered a destroyer in the Sea of Japan to strike any ballistic missiles that may be launched by North Koreain the coming weeks after Pyongyang fired a Rodong medium-range missile over the sea, a government source said on Saturday. 

According to the Reuters report citing an unidentified government source, Japanese Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera issued the order on Thursday, but did not make it public in order to avoid putting a chill on renewed talks between Tokyo and Pyongyang, the first in more than a year, local media reported earlier. 

“The defense minister made the order from April 3rd through to the 25th to prepare for any additional missile launches,” the source said. 

If I had to guess I would say for all their bluster and trash talk, North Korea will not tempt the Japanese into shooting down one of their missiles.  It would be a huge escalation.  Something that is not unheard of for North Korea to accomplish but I just don’t see it occuring.
