Japan said both missiles landed in waters outside Japan's exclusive economic zone and that no damage to aircraft or vessels in the area was reported, but they flew distances that suggest most of South Korea is in range.
Both South Korea and Japan condemned recent North Korean launches as threats to international peace and violations of U.N. Security Council resolutions that ban any ballistic activities by North Korea. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told reporters that Tokyo was requesting an emergency Security Council meeting to respond to recent North Korean launches.
She likely referred to Sunday's U.S. flight of B-1B long-range, supersonic bombers for separate training with South Korea and Japan, conducted in response to North Korea's Saturday ICBM test. In her statement earlier Sunday, Kim Yo Jong threatened to take additional"powerful" steps over upcoming military drills between the United States and South Korea.
Hours after Monday's launches, South Korea's Foreign Ministry said Seoul placed unilateral sanctions on four individuals and five institutions it said were involved in illicit activities supporting the North's nuclear arms development and evasion of sanctions. The official Korean Central News Agency said the tests simulated strikes on targets up to 245 miles away.
