TL;DR Summary
North Korea fired a mid-range or longer ballistic missile from near Pyongyang into the waters off the east coast of the Korean Peninsula, according to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff. Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada said the missile may have been an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), but Japanese authorities are still analyzing details. The missile landed outside of Japan's exclusive economic zone, and there is no longer a possibility of it falling on Hokkaido or its surroundings.
