“This is the sixth time in the short period, just counting the ones from the end of September,” Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told reporters. “This absolutely cannot be tolerated.”

The launch was reported by South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Japanese government.

The United States condemned Thursday’s launch, a State Department spokesperson said, calling it a violation of the United Nations Security Council resolutions and a threat to regional neighbours and the international community. Tokyo lodged a “vehement protest” with North Korea over Thursday’s launches through delegations in Beijing, Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada said.

“North Korea has relentlessly and unilaterally escalated its provocation especially since the beginning of this year,” Hamada told reporters.North Korea has launched about 40 missiles this year. Its record schedule began in January with the launch of a new “hypersonic missile,” and went on to include long-range cruise missiles; SRBMs fired from rail cars, airports, and a submarine; its first intercontinental ballistic missile launches since 2017; and the IRBM shot over Japan.
