JAPAN SAYS NORTH KOREA FIRED MISSILES OFF EAST COAST-Missiles did not enter Japan’s territory
Japanese chief government spokesperson stated today that multiple short-range ballistic missiles fired by North Korea off its east coast, did not land in Japan’s territory or in its exclusive economic zone.
South Korea’s military said North Korea fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast today, marking Pyongyang’s latest show of force just days ahead of the U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s return to office.
The missiles reportedly traveled about 155 miles after lifting off at around 00:30 GMT from Kanggye, Jagang Province, near the country’s border with China, Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.
However, Japan’s chief government spokesperson Yoshimasa Hayashi says no missile was spotted landing in Japan’s territory or in the exclusive economic zone, and there are no reports of damage from it.
