Nuclear-armed North Korea has fired a ballistic missile over Japan for the first time in five years.
Residents were warned to take cover, and an alert was issued to those living in the north-east of Japan to evacuate nearby buildings as the missile flew over the country before landing in the Pacific Ocean.The Japanese government said it did not use any defence measures to destroy the missile, but warned that North Korea"poses a serious challenge to the entire international community".
The launch is the fifth round of weapons tests by the country in the past 10 days in what was seen as an apparent response to- drills North Korea views as an invasion rehearsal. "North Korea's series of actions, including its repeated ballistic missile launches, threatens the peace and security of Japan, the region, and the international community," Japan's top government spokesperson Hirokazu Matsuno said.
