Japan: N.korean Ballistic Missile May Have Fallen In Eez
Japan's Defense Ministry sources say the projectile North Korea launched appears to have fallen into waters about 170 kilometers off the northern prefecture of Aomori. This is within Japan's exclusive economic zone.
They say it appears to have been an inter-continental ballistic class missile and it was launched on a lofted trajectory.
Part of the projectile earlier fell outside of Japan's exclusive economic zone.
The ministry of defense say the rest has now fallen into the sea, but it has not yet confirmed if this was within Japan's exclusive economic zone or not.
South Korea's military says that this is the North's 11th launch of a projectile since the beginning of this year.
South Korea's military is gathering information in cooperation with the US.
The Japanese government has called a national security conference in response to the launch.
