North Korea has once again defied the
United Nations and international
warnings and conducted another missile
test.
The missile landed in Japanese waters,
according to a report from Japan.
The latest missile was said to have been
launched from Jagang province, north of
the country, at around 11:41 pm, local
time.
The range of the missile launched is not
known, but the range of North Korea’s
ICBM has been disputed, though some
experts say it could reach Alaska.
Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary,
Yoshihide Suga, said the missile flew for
about 45 minutes, some six minutes longer
than the ICBM tested in early July.
North Korea claims it reached an altitude
of about 3,000km, that’s 200km higher
than the previous ICBM.
If confirmed, it would be North Korea’s
14th missile test conduct, this year.
“As a result of their launches of ICBM-level
missiles, this clearly shows the threat to
our nation’s safety is severe and real,”
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said.
