Despite the warnings given to residents of specific shelter places, the missile did not travel over Japan, according to Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazo Hamada.
The warning was sent since it was known that the missile was expected to fly over the Japanese archipelago, according to Hamada.
The missile, he said, “disappeared over the Sea of Japan, not across the Japanese archipelago, as we had previously determined after validating the intelligence.
The missile, according to earlier government reports, was already over Japanese land as it moved toward the Pacific Ocean.
An “unspecified ballistic missile” was launched by North Korea, according to Sol, on Thursday, a day after Pyongyang fired more than 20 rockets, one of which landed close to South Korea’s territorial seas.
The Joint Chronic Staff of the South Korean army reported that North Korea had launched an unidentified ballistic missile into the Sea of the East.
After Pyongyang launched a missile, Japan implores citizens to seek shelter.
