                  N. Korea fires 2 missiles, warns of more launches over Japan

                  North Korea fired two ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan on Monday, the Defense Ministry said, with Pyongyang warning of more launches over the Japanese archipelago as the United States and its East Asian allies held joint exercises. Immediately after North Korea's launches on Monday morning, the Japan Coast Guard said Pyongyang had fired three projectiles, citing data from the Defense Ministry. But the ministry corrected the report later in the day, saying the North had launched two missiles. Matsuno said the Cabinet Secretariat, a governmental body that gathers data from the Defense Ministry and other administrative organizations, mistakenly sent a notification about the second missile launch by North Korea to the Japan Coast Guard twice.

The MSDF said that 18 vessels from 12 nations, including Australia, Canada, India and the United States, as well as a total of six French and U.S. warplanes, joined the review. A mass of vessels and aircraft gathered at Sagami Bay off Kanagawa Prefecture, with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida inspecting the fleets. On board the MSDF carrier Izumo, Kishida said North Korea has been launching ballistic missiles, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, more frequently than ever since earlier this year.
