Called the National Security Council: the DPRK launched a ballistic missile towards Japan - the media

Journalists write that the rocket flew over Japan. The government stated that North Korea launched an intercontinental rocket that could fly 3000 km. North Korea launched a ballistic missile from its east coast to Japan. This prompted Tokyo for the first time since 2017, to announce a warning that calls for residents to hide, which Japan Times writes. It is noted that air alarm was declared on the islands of IDZU, Hokkaid, as well as in the prefecture of the Aomori.

The material states that the Ministry of Defense of Japan later stated that the rocket, as expected earlier, fell in the Pacific, flying over the country. The journalists reported, citing sources in the Japan government, which, in view of everything, was an intercontinental ballistic missile.

At a hastily organized press conference, the Chief Secretary of the Cabinet of Ministers of Japan Chirokadz Matsuno stated that the ballistic missile flew over the Tochok region and probably landed at 7:44 am (local time) in the Pacific Outside the Economic Zone of Japan, which extends 370 kilometers shore. According to Matsuno, there was no reports of damage from ships or aircraft floating nearby. It is reported that the launch was the fifth a week for North Korea.

In addition, according to the publication, South Korea's military also confirmed the launch of at least one ballistic missile from the DPRK coast. Earlier, Focus wrote that North Korea continues to test ballistic missiles. The main task of Kim Jong -in is to create more efficient weapons of mass destruction. We will also remind that a aircraft carrier arrived in South Korea to demonstrate force. Americans participated in large -scale military exercises.
