Tokyo, (AFP) - A missile fired by North Korea on Thursday did not fly over Japan despite warnings being issued to residents in some regions, Japan's defense minister said.
"The missile was detected as having the potential to fly over the Japanese archipelago, so the J-Alert was issued," Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada told reporters. "After checking this information, we confirmed that the missile did not cross the Japanese archipelago, but disappeared over the Sea of Japan."
