North Korea Flies Missile Over Japan

North Korea fired yet another missile, this time boasting the longest flight, yet, and this time flying it directly over Japan. The test comes after North Korea has threatened to nuke Japan, and reduce the United States to ashes. Alarms sounded throughout Japan, with many believing this was an incoming nuclear attack.

The missile landed 1,240 miles off the cape of Erimo in Hokkaido island at about 6.57am local time.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that the "continued provocations only deepen North Korea's diplomatic and economic isolation," and that "all nations should take new measures against the dictatorship."

U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said that North Korea's missile launch over Japan "put millions of Japanese into duck and cover" mode before it landed in the Pacific Ocean.
A U.S. response is currently being determined.

Japanese chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga said that so far there is no evidence of any missile fragments landing on Japanese territory.
