According to South Korean information, North Korea fired a ballistic missile on Thursday morning (local time). The missile was launched in the direction of the Sea of ​​Japan, the South Korean news agency Yonhap reported on Thursday, referring to the South Korean general staff.

In Japan, the news led to an evacuation order. The government urged residents to take cover. “Evacuate immediately. Evacuate immediately,” the government warned, urging residents to seek safety indoors or underground.

A few hours later, the Japanese government gave permission. A North Korean missile will no longer land on or near Japanese territory.

Military tensions have increased dramatically

North Korea has fired a number of missiles in recent weeks and says it has also tested a nuclear drone under water.

Military tensions on the Korean peninsula have increased dramatically recently. The Communist leadership in Pyongyang has repeatedly threatened military escalation in the region. North Korea conducted a record number of weapons tests last year. (AFP/dzc)
