Global concern after North Korea fires ballistic missile over Japan

North Korea has launched another missile over Japan, a day after it threatened to “sink” the country and turn the US “into ashes and darkness”, theguardian.com reports and adds:

The missile – which was fired from Sunan, just north of Pyongyang, on Friday morning at 6.57am Japanese local time (21.57 GMT Thursday) – flew over the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido before landing, 20 minutes after launch, in the Pacific Ocean, 2,200km east of Cape Erimo.

The US and South Korea announced they believed it to be an intermediate-range ballistic missile, although the Japanese foreign minister Taro Kono said it could be an intercontinental ballistic missile, which has a significantly greater range and which Pyongyang claimed to have tested successfully in July.
