Retaliatory measure; countermeasure. An action taken by a state or organisation in response to a perceived injury or hostile act by another party, intended to impose costs or compel a change in behaviour.

Used in diplomatic, trade, and military contexts. Common collocations include 報復措置を取る (to take retaliatory measures) and 報復措置を発動する (to invoke/trigger retaliatory measures). In trade disputes, these may include tariffs, sanctions, or export controls. The term implies reactive rather than aggressive intent, distinguishing it from 先制攻撃 (preemptive strike).
