North Korea fires missile, Japan retracts take-cover warning
North Korea launched an intermediate-range or longer ballistic missile, prompting an initial take-cover warning for residents in Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido.
Japanese authorities quickly retracted the warning, stating their J-Alert emergency system made an erroneous prediction; the missile ultimately landed in the sea east of North Korea without falling on Japanese territory.
The launch, which South Korea called a "grave provocation," follows North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's recent call to strengthen the country's war deterrence against perceived aggression from the United States.
