The launch of a long-range missile from the North’s capital region was discovered by the military of South Korea around ten in the morning, according to a statement from the South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff. Yasukazu Hamada, the defence minister of Japan, told reporters that the North Korean missile was probably launched on a lofted trajectory, which is a steep angle North Korea frequently employs when it tests long-range missiles to avoid its neighbours.
