Japan has issued an evacuation order and warned residents to take cover in the Hokkaido region after North Korea fired a missile.
The missile launch comes days after North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un said he would enhance his nuclear capability in “practical and offensive” ways.
The ballistic missile was launched off the east coast of the Korean Peninsula, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.
A TV shows J-Alert or National Early Warning System to the Japanese residents Thursday, April 13, 2023, in Yokohama, south of Tokyo.
The Japanese government warned residents of the island of Hokkaido to take immediate cover, saying a missile was likely to fall near it around 8am Japan time (2300 GMT).
And officials say that in the end, the missile landed in the waters between the Korean peninsula and Japan. They did not specify how far the missile flew.
The incident also comes a day after Japan announced plans to develop and build an array of advanced long-range missiles to improve the country’s defences.
The Japanese Defense Ministry said it had signed contracts with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to produce the weapons.
The missile launch took place as South Korean officials say North Korea has not been responding to South Korean calls on a set of cross-border inter-Korean hotlines for about a week.
