North Korea launches missile over Japan (The Guardian)
The North last month used the same Sunan airport to fire a Hwasong-12 intermediate range missile that flew over northern Japan in what it declared as a “meaningful prelude” to containing the US Pacific island territory of Guam and the start of more ballistic missile launches targeting the Pacific ocean.
The Australian prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, believes today’s missile launch is a sign of the regime’s frustration at being hit with further sanctions.
This week the UN security council voted unanimously in favour of a ban on the country’s textile exports and a ceiling on the country’s imports of crude oil. (Full report here.)
Turnbull told Sky News: “This is another dangerous, reckless, criminal act by the North Korean regime threatening the stability of the region and the world and we condemn it utterly.”
