Japanese naval forces successfully shot down a
medium-range missile off Hawaii in a test of Tokyo's missile
defense weaponry, the US military said on Wednesday.
A Japanese destroyer detected, tracked and knocked
out the missile in mid-flight with an SM-3 interceptor rocket,
the US Missile Defense Agency (MDA) said in a statement.
The missile was launched on Tuesday at 6:00 pm Hawaii time
(0400 GMT) at a missile range site off Kauai in Hawaii and at
6:04, an SM-3 interceptor was fired in response, the MDA said.
"Approximately three minutes later, the SM-3 successfully
intercepted the target approximately 100 miles (160 kilometers)
above the Pacific Ocean," it said.
