North Korea has launched a missile whose point of origin was near Pyongyang according to reports. The missile was launched travelling in an eastward direction.
Japan and South Korea have confirmed reports of the launch.
Japanese citizens in several areas have been urged to take cover. South Korea is currently conducting an emergency security meeting.
South Korea has stated that the missile flew 3,700km at an altitude of 770km before crashing into the sea off of the northernmost Japanese island of Hokkaido.
According to unconfirmed Japanese media, the missile has flown over Japan. Previously North Korea fired a missile which travelled over Japanese skies on the 29th of August.

“Japanese citizens in several areas have been urged to take cover.”
That is poor staging! Last time Japanese people admitted on the media that they did not even know WHERE they could possibly have taken cover…
Don’t worry everyone it was shot down by the THAAD and all the awesome forces in SK and Japan that are on super high alert these days………..
….oh, right,…not so much.
The Emperor Tumpo seem to be permanently naked nowadays….
I can just see him waving his willy as Kim’s missiles fly overhead his Florida
domain destroyed by Irma…
God realy does have a superb sense of humour…
DPRK is sending signals to the world that it will not back down until the Outlaw US empire leaves the Korean Peninsula for the good
At that altitude the flight does not transgress Japanese territory; it’s in international airspace. So the report that this was a threat to Japan is wrong, although it definitely was a statement of warning to Japan. More clearly, it was a statement to the US that N. Korea can knock out Guam, the source of US air force bombers that threaten N. Korea. What this will do is force the US to accept the Russian and Chinese offers to mediate, as there is no way the US is going to attack N. Korea, as Steve Bannon has made clear.
So the sanctioning to save Uncle Schlomo’s face was a complete waste of time. No surprise there.
Starving N.K to death or corner them makes things utterly worse, This is not the way to treat your neigbour now, do the right thing. Support them and demand US to sign a peace treaty already! It’s long overdue.
Kim should calm down already. He made his point. His tantrums go too far.
This is a vicious circle that must STOP spinning.
