According to the Japanese government, which amended its first claim that one of the missiles passed over Honcho’s main island, North Korea launched three ballistic missiles on Thursday morning, and one of them vanished from radar screens over the Sea of Japan.
According to the authorities, there have been no reports of damage as a result of the missile launch. In the past, it had recommended people to remain in their homes in a few provinces in northeast and central Japan.
The Sea of Japan, commonly known as the Sea of the East, was the target of a ballistic missile launched by Pyongyang, according to the South Korean army earlier today.
Yonhap News Agency quoted the South Korean army as saying that North Korea launched an unspecified ballistic missile after the launch of Pyongyang more than ten missiles from its eastern and western coast.
On Wednesday, South Korean fighters launched three air-to-surface missiles in response to the Pyongyang missile launch wave, including a maritime-border missile with South Korea and fell at sea just 60 km from the coast.
According to a defence ministry spokesman, this is the first time a North Korean missile has come down close to South Korean territorial seas since the Korean War ended in 1953.
The most significant air manoeuvres undertaken by the South Korean and American forces some years ago are being retaliated against with fresh missile launches and artillery shells from North Korea, which began on Monday and will last through Friday.
North Korea declared that the two nations were engaging in “reckless” military provocation and promised to retaliate.
