A day after launching an unprecedented missile barrage, North Korea started Thursday by firing three more, including a long-range missile that prompted emergency shelter orders in three Japanese prefectures. MORE: Residents were warned to immediately take shelter indoors in Japan’s Miyagi, Yamagata, and Niigata prefectures. Television broadcasts in some parts of the country were interrupted by emergency alerts. Japan’s emergency broadcast system initially said the North Korean missile flew over and past Japanese territory, but defense officials later retracted that claim. Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada said officials lost track of the missile while it was flying over the sea between the Korean Peninsula and Japan. The long-range missile flew about 760 kilometers, but failed following its second stage separation, according to military officials quoted in South Korea’s Yonhap news agency. https://www.voanews.com/a/japanese-ordered-to-take-shelter-after-north-korean-launch-/6817919.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
