N. Korea conducts 2nd missile test in less than a week
North Korea fired a suspected ballistic missile on Tuesday morning, the Japanese government said, with the second missile launch in less than a week coming after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un pledged late last year to strengthen the nation's defenses. At least one projectile was fired eastward from inland around 7:25 a.m. and is estimated to have landed in the sea outside Japan's exclusive economic zone, it said. There has been no report of damage to ships or aircraft, according to the government. The projectile is likely to have traveled less than 700 kilometers, assuming it flew on a traditional ballistic missile trajectory, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said at a news conference. "We strongly condemn North Korea's slew of actions including the repeated firing of ballistic missiles as a threat to the peace and security of our country, the broader region and the international community," Matsuno said.
