TOKYO - The U.S. plans to deploy advanced Patriot interceptor missiles in Japan by the end of the year, a Japanese newspaper reported Monday, amid concerns that North Korea may be about to test-fire a long-range ballistic missile.

The U.S. government notified Tokyo earlier this month that it will deploy Patriot Advanced Capability-3 missiles — designed to intercept ballistic missiles, cruise missiles or aircraft — on its own bases in Japan for the first time, Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper reported.

The U.S. military would deploy three or four batteries of the surface-to-air missiles on the southern island of Okinawa, where it also plans to send an additional 500 to 600 troops, Yomiuri said, quoting an unidentified government officials.
