North Korea fired at least one ballistic missile over Japan on Tuesday morning local time, according to regional officials – an apparent escalation of Pyongyang’s habitual missile tests that prompted immediate backlash from Tokyo. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed the launch, saying that the missile passed eastward over neighboring Japan after launching from North Korea’s Mupyong-ri area in Jagang Province at around 7:23 a.m. local time.
Matsuno added that he considered the launch a “threat to the public” and said Japan’s government would continue to analyze the situation and work closely with the international community. According to CNN’s count, Tuesday’s launch marks North Korea’s 23rd missile launch this year, including both ballistic and cruise missiles.
