Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said North Korea had launched a ballistic missile that appeared to have landed outside Japan's exclusive economic zone. The suspected missiles were fired from the Sunan area near its capital Pyongyang at 6:14 a.m. on Thursday (2114 GMT on Wednesday) and flew about 350 km (217 miles) before plunging into the sea, South Korea's military said in a statement. South Korea is sharing North Korean missile-related information with U.S. and Japanese officials, it added in the statement. The United States called on North Korea to stop "further unlawful and destabilising acts". The launches were the latest in a series of tests this year by North Korea involving what analysts call "theatre strike missiles," or shorter-range weapons designed to hit targets within a region, as opposed to long-range missiles that might hit enemy cities on other continents.
