LIVE: Japan Issues Warnings After North Korea Fires ‘Unidentified Projectile’ | Kim Jong Un | CNBC TV18
North Korea fired an unidentified projectile on a southern path off its west coast on Monday, South Korea's military said, hours after Pyongyang said it would be launching a satellite some time before June 4.
The launch would likely be the nuclear-armed North's attempt to place a second spy satellite into orbit.
The Japanese government issued an emergency warning on Monday for residents in the south to take cover from the possible threat of a North Korean missile, before lifting the warning and saying it was not expected to fly over Japanese territory.
North Korea fired an unidentified projectile on a southern path off its west coast on Monday, South Korea’s military said, leading Japan to warn residents to take cover.
The launch appeared to originate from Dongchang-ri, a northwestern area of the country where North Korea’s main space flight centre is based, the South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
An emergency warning ordered Japan’s residents in Okinawa to take cover, but was quickly lifted by the prime minister’s office.
Japanese public broadcaster NHK showed video of what appeared to be an orange dot flying into the night sky and then bursting into flames in an area close to the border between China and North Korea.
