- Japan tested a US-Tomahawk cruise missile launched from its Chokai warship in the Pacific Ocean on July 29.
- The test is characterized by the source as another step in Japan's gradual shift away from its post-WWII pacifist status.
Why it matters: Japan fired a US-supplied Tomahawk from its own warship, exercising a long-range strike capability rather than merely acquiring it — the source frames the live-fire test as a concrete step in Tokyo's departure from its constitutionally pacifist post-1945 posture.
