WorldMozaic - North Korea launches missile again, Japan is Furious.
Tokyo has strongly condemned North Korea's missile launch on Friday morning, a spokesman for the Japanese government said, saying his country would never tolerate this recurrent extreme provocative action.
"We have cast a strong protest to North Korea, as well as conveyed the great fury of the people of Japan," said Yoshihide Suga, a spokesman for the Japanese Government, as quoted by AFP.
The missile was flying over Hokkaido in northern Japan at about 07:06 (22:06 GMT) toward the Pacific Ocean, according to the Japanese J-Alert system, with reports suggesting the missile crashed at about 2,000 kilometers east of Hokkaido.
Meanwhile, South Korea's defense ministry said the missile is likely to fly as far as 3,700 kilometers and reach a maximum altitude of 770 kilometers - both higher and farther than previous missiles launch.
