Japan to designate 58 sites as security-linked land

The Japanese authorities plans to designate 58 places in 5 prefectures as areas deemed necessary by way of nationwide safety by the tip of this 12 months, a transfer made potential below a brand new regulation, officers stated Tuesday.

The places, primarily distant islands, have been chosen as the primary batch of designations below a regulation to control the usage of land areas for nationwide safety functions. They are going to be formally designated after gathering opinions from native governments.
