North Korea fires one long-range and two short-range ballistic missiles, Seoul says, with one prompting warnings for residents of a South Korean island and people in parts of northern Japan to seek shelter
Thursday's tests came a day after Pyongyang fired more than 20 missiles, the most it has fired in a single day ever.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said it detected the North firing a missile it presumed as an ICBM from an area near its capital Pyongyang around 7:40 am [local time] and then firing two short-range missiles from the nearby city of Kacheon that flew toward its eastern waters."North Korea's ICBM launch presumed to have ended in failure," Seoul's military said.
The office of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida issued warnings to residents in the northern prefectures of Miyagi, Yamagata and Niigata, instructing them to go inside firm buildings or underground. There have been no reports of damage or injuries from areas where the alerts were issued. North Korea last flew a missile over Japan in October in what it described as a test of a new intermediate-range ballistic missile, which experts say potentially would be capable of reaching Guam, a major US military hub in the Pacific. That launch forced the Japanese government to issue evacuation alerts and halt trains.
