I'm still leery of the of the HI incident. Some people are claiming that there was an actual launch that was neutralized: Japan would have detected any kind of ICBM activity and would have been the canary in the coal mine. I think this was likely an inside job, perhaps to flush out some undesirables entrenched in HI government infrastructure. If you think about the geographical location of HI, it is a satellite state that has been used to shelter many corrupt individuals and is also a crucial crossing point for trafficking. There are no coincidences. How many rats try to flee their nests upon learning that the ship is sinking?
