North Korea appeared to launch at least one missile over Japan on Tuesday, media reports said, as the government issued a rare alert calling for residents to take cover over the firing.
The Defense Ministry in Tokyo said the missile was believed to have landed around 7:50 a.m.
The launch was the nuclear-armed country’s fifth in a week.
South Korea’s military also confirmed the launch of at least one ballistic missile off its east coast.
