After the missile launchings by North Korea over the island, Japan will now deploy an additional missile defense system on its northern island of Hokkaido, said by the defense ministry spokesman to AFP. 
"We are deploying a PAC-3 system at about noon" to a base of the nation's Ground Self-Defence Force in the southern tip of Hokkaido, said Kensaku Mizuseki.
If local reports are to be believed then, Japan has already deployed the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 to another part of Hokkaido, but Mizuseki has denied confirming where in Japan other PAC-3 systems were deployed, assuming it as a sensitive nature of defense information. 
Prior to, Pyongyang had carried out its sixth nuclear test and already fired two missiles over Japan. North Korea has also threatened to " Sink" Japan into the sea and has said that it sought military " equilibrium" with arch-enemy the US by developing a full nuclear arsenal. 
On this note, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also said that "never tolerate" the North's "dangerous provocative action" and has urged the international community to ramp up pressure on Pyongyang.
The UN Security Council on this regard will hold a meeting on Thursday the meeting will focus on enforcing sanctions on the North Korean regime.
