North Korea launches another missile over Japan
North Korea continued its barrage of weapons tests on Thursday, firing at least three missiles including a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile that forced the Japanese government to issue evacuation alerts and temporarily halt trains.
While South Korean officials didn’t immediately release more specific flight details, the longer-range missile may have been fired on a high angle to avoid reaching the territory of neighbours. Japan’s Defense Minister Yasukazu said one of the North Korean missiles reached a maximum altitude of 2,000 kilometres and flew about 750 kilometres .
Kishida said North Korea’s missile launches are “outrageous and absolutely intolerable.” He said he will sort out further details as officials analyze the missiles.
