The launch is set to take place between August 24 and 31, Pyongyang told Japan's coast guard Tuesday, promptingto mobilise ships and its PAC-3 missile defence system in case it were to land in their territory.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida urged Pyongyang to call off the launch, saying his country was working with South Korea and the United States to gather more information.Japan's Coast Guard said Pyongyang had informed them of three designated danger areas: the Yellow Sea, East China Sea and waters east of the Philippines' Luzon island.
Pyongyang views all such drills as rehearsals for an invasion and has repeatedly warned it would take"overwhelming" action in response. In a commentary, KCNA warned that if the drills involve a"nuclear provocation", the possibility"of a thermonuclear war on the Korean peninsula will become more realistic".The announcement also came shortly after leaders from Washington, Seoul and Tokyo met at Camp David in the US, with North Korea's growing nuclear threats a key item on the agenda.
