BREAKING: A ballistic missile fired by North Korea flew over Japan, the Japanese prime minister's office says. The missile is then believed to have landed in the Pacific. The projectile's course represents an escalation of Pyongyang's weapons tests.

The Japanese prime minister’s office said at least one missile fired from North Korea flew over Japan and was believed to have landed into the Pacific Ocean.

It said authorities have issued an alert to residents in northeastern regions to evacuate buildings nearby in what was reportedly the first such alert in five years. Trains were temporarily suspended in Japan’s Hokkaido and Aomori regions before their operations were resumed later after a government notice that the North Korean missile appeared to have landed into the Pacific.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said it also detected the launch of a ballistic missile that was fired toward the North’s eastern waters. It gave no further details such as how far the weapon flew.The launch is the fifth round of weapons test by North Korean in the past 10 days in what was seen as an apparent response to military drills between South Korea and the United States.

The missiles fired during the past four rounds of launches were short-range and fell in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan. Those missiles are capable of hitting targets in South Korea.

Makes you wonder if Trump has already copied those documents and sold them off to Kim

NATO-USNATO-NATOinUkraine, MunSecConf, TheJointStaff, CIA-FBI, etc.: Overcome & permanently defeat the global Axis of Evil & their terrorists including Putin, Lukashenka, Jinping, Jong-un, Trump, etc. Arrest them all & protect us & our people, planet & democracies NOW! ⏰

yawn

Tests::= Kim; is funny boy.

Sequel to Russian reunification of Oct 2022 Chinese reintegration plans can be expected. interregnum NorthKorea will play spoilsport.

I hope the missile was powered by green energy.

Can't the Japanese military shoot the missile down? How long are they going to play nice 🤔?

Maybe Putler gave the fat lad a call…

Putin has emboldened other expansionist dictators to push the envelope. Same way Starlin inspired the likes of Hitler, and hitler inspired Mussolini the chain continued until it was severed.

How much longer before we respond to these provocations? I can’t believe we do nothing. Embarrassing.

The US should do their own weapons test in North Korea. Let’s get it over with.

detectbarb Japan needs to start shooting these down. Japan needs to start their own nuclear program. Japan needs to amend their constitution giving them the ability to implement a first strike. Rocket Boy is a danger to democracy. Can't believe Trump coddled him.

No one fears Joe Biden.

We have an enduring and long standing alliance with Republic of North Korea ! - VP Harris

This guy fires missiles for fun... no... he doesn't dance or sing for fun, no fucking karaoke for fun... he fires fucking missiles... HOORAY!!

Kim Jong Un is foolish and immature. His cavalier use of rocket launches to show off is playing with fire. A misfire and international incident are inevitable. The world doesn't need another crisis. North Korea doesn't need Kim Jong Un.

Little rocket man is upset and desperate because nobody is talking about him. It’s all about the Russian war against the Ukraine, and Iran. 🚀 Although I have to say: the almost non-existent coverage of the revolution in Iran is rather disappointing. 😢

I presume Japan has a special forces unit. Time to spin em up.

China’s putting them up to it. Stirring the pot.

Let's just nuke North Korea as a group, and just get rid of Kim already.

DjMusgr Japan need to start shooting down missiles that iverfly its territory. Send a message back.

Ugh they give me massive heartburn.

Its the only way to deter western allies to protect thyself!! And, its a true lessons from the korean history....

Kamala believes North Korea is our ally Pelosi needs to step in

I think Putin is asking Kim if he can please make some noise in the Pacific, so we pay attention to him instead.

LoniLove ctslb Hell 2 the NALLNALL

We need to start shooting them down

Let's hope it didn't nuke a seismic vault eh....no superman around to save us for real...😏

Biden to send 10 Billion to Japan to ease their anxiety.

Joe Biden is a foreign policy expert.

Durrtydoesit Ok. They have a right to test weaponry. Everything isn’t an “escalation”

Phil_Lewis_ chill

When North Korea needs media attention, they fire a rocket. If not for that, nobody will even know they exist.

North Korea wants to get rid of Japan, China wants to get rid of Taiwan, and China and Russia want to get rid of America. One of the things these 3 countries have in common ... they don't give a shit about their own people.

All I can say is missiles over here, missiles over there; when this war starts someone will have their hands, foot and mouth full because missiles will be raining down from everywhere. 👊

Japan's response

Why are we complaining about our long term ally firing missiles over japan?

NK's resident whiny boy throwing a tantrum to take attention away from Vladdy. Waa.

bostonradio I’m so glad Joe is in charge.

Rocket Man is mad other things are getting attention

Biden’s failed foreign policy is directly responsible for this.

Kim jong un & Putin just want war.

Can't we just make an example out of north korea?

Someone should tell Kamala Harris that her new BFF is acting out. 🤣

My question is why Japan does not shoot down North Korea missile ?

Would anyone miss NK if it was blasted into oblivion?

WillieGeist Japanese 🇯🇵 need to get a missile shield They need to buy one or make one pronto 👍 enough of this 2 bit North Korean leader 🔥

It’s good thing we are allies with North Korea VP

JFC what is that doing to sea life and the bodies of water he pollutes with these deranged 'tests'. 🤬😡🤬

US could not stop it

The “Rocket Man” wanna join Putin’s war.

nmaxch

WillieGeist Our poor oceans :/

Now that Putin is likely to test a nuke just to show NATO he's not 'bluffing' perhaps Kim is requesting America do the same. Seems like a win win.

No one respects Biden. How weak we are

Glad to know Joe Biden is going to cause a nuclear war.
