TOKYO (AP) - Japan and the United States held a joint missile defense exercise off the Japanese coast last week, a Defense Ministry official said Tuesday.
The two countries held a regional ballistic missile defense drill on July 6, bringing together Aegis-radar equipped destroyers and early warning aircraft, or AWACS, said a Japanese Defense Ministry official who spoke on condition of anonymity according to protocol.
The allies practiced target-tracking and information-sharing during the exercise, she said. She refused to disclose the location except that it was held "at sea and in air around Japan."
