Rocket test: Japan on alert because of North Korean rocket

North Korea has fired at least one suspected ballistic missile, according to Japan. The Japanese Defence Ministry reported this, as cited by NHK. The South Korean General Staff said that North Korea launched an unidentified projectile into the sea east of the Korean Peninsula. This is not the first such test, as North Korea last launched several ballistic short-range missiles on September 12 towards the Sea of Japan.
