banning Pyongyang from launching rockets that may be used as long-range ballistic missiles carrying nuclear warheads. Japan’s National Security Council held a meeting shortly after the incident. The rocket flew over Japan's Okinawa prefecture.
Following the news, the office of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that Japan, in close cooperation with the international community, would not hesitate to take measures against North Korea.
