The Japanese government says its public will be informed within ten minutes of the launch of a North Korean rocket scheduled to take place within the week.

Japan’s Kyodo News said Thursday that if Pyongyang pushes forward with a rocket launch, the U.S. military will acquire related information through its early-warning satellite detection capabilities. The information will then be conveyed to the Japanese Defense Ministry through the U.S. forces in Japan before being delivered to the prime minister’s office and other related agencies.

The daily said the information on the rocket launch will also be simultaneously delivered to both U.S. and Japanese Aegis destroyers deployed in the East Sea and the Pacific Ocean.

Japan’s Self-Defense Forces are prepared to carry out interception efforts if information regarding the rocket launch shows that debris from the rocket or the rocket itself will fall on Japanese territory. A North Korean rocket is thought to have the ability to reach Japanese territory within ten minutes after launch.

The report added that the Japanese government plans to hold a news conference within an hour after lift-off to announce the specifics of the launch and Tokyo’s future countermeasures on North Korean ballistic missile activity.
