North Korea has fired a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile, South Korea says, one day after test firing a short-range missile.
The presumed ICBM was launched around 10:15 a.m. local time from the Sunan area of the North Korean capital Pyongyang, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said. Kishida said it likely fell in Japan’s exclusive economic zone , about 210 kilometers west of the Japanese island of Oshima Oshima, according to the Japan Coast Guard. It did not fly over Japan.
It has now been lifted and the US military is still analyzing the flight path, he said. The launch comes one day after Pyongyang fired a short-range ballistic missile into the waters off the east coast of the Korean Peninsula, and issued a stern warning to the United States of a “fiercer military counteraction” to its tighter defense ties with South Korea and Japan.
