North Korea has fired a new ballistic missile and it may have landed in the sea off Japan, claimed Shinzo Abe, Japan’s prime minister.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters that officials are analysing the apparent launch and that he has called a meeting of the National Security Council.
In Washington, a Pentagon spokesman, Navy Capt Jeff Davis, confirmed that a launch of a ballistic missile from North Korea had been detected. He said, ‘We are assessing and will have more information soon.’
US and South Korean military officials had earlier this week said that North Korea could carry out another missile launch. They had warned that the test could be of another intercontinental ballistic missile.
