TOKYO — North Korea has fired a projectile that may be a ballistic missile, Japan’s coast guard said Sunday.
The projectile has likely already fallen, the coast guard said, while warning ships to not approach they get near it.
The launch comes after North Korea this month set off one of its biggest series of missile volleys since August 2019. It also threatened to end its nearly four-year hiatus on tests of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles designed to deliver warheads to the U.S. mainland.
