Editor's Choice: 'Global Hawk missing.' On the alert in Nikkei Asia's newsroom

An Air Self-Defense Force Global Hawk drone lost communication while operating off the coast of Tottori Prefecture in the Sea of Japan. The incident raised concerns about potential hostile actions, including cyberattacks, due to the aircraft's advanced technology and U.S. origin. The Japanese Self-Defense Force later confirmed the aircraft had crashed, though the exact cause remains under investigation. While initial fears of external interference were considered, the outcome could range from a mechanical failure to more serious security implications. The event highlights the increasing frequency of unexpected incidents across Asia and underscores the need for timely and accurate reporting.
