According to Japan Times – Japan urged residents of Hokkaido to seek immediate shelter on Thursday after North Korea launched at least one apparent ballistic missile, the Prime Minister’s Office said.
The country’s J-Alert warning system was activated at about 7:55 a.m., about 20 minutes after the launch, with residents urged to take shelter either inside buildings or underground. The missile was expected to land near Japan’s northernmost prefecture around 8 a.m.
South Korea’s military also confirmed the launch of an unspecified missile.
“Evacuate immediately. Evacuate immediately,” the Japanese government said in a warning, telling residents of Hokkaido to take shelter in a building or underground.
The coast guard later issued a notice at 8:19 a.m. that the missile had already landed and issued another notice a minute later that the splashdown would not be near Hokkaido. It was not immediately clear why the missile had initially been projected to land near Hokkaido.
In a news conference Thursday morning, Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada said an intercontinental ballistic missile-class weapon was believed to have been fired, but he said the ministry had not confirmed whether the missile had fallen into Japan’s exclusive economic zone, which extends 200 nautical miles (370 kilometers) from its coast. He did not take questions after his brief remarks.
South Korea’s military also confirmed the launch of an intermediate-range or longer ballistic missile.
