The test is a highly provocative action that is considered a red line. Makoto Oniki, Japans deputy defense minister, said the missile is believed to be a new type of ICBM because of its lofted height.
The Japanese Coast Guard said North Korea launched a suspected ballistic missile that landed within Japans exclusive economic zone near the coast of Aomori, in northern Japan. South Korean military officials called it a suspected ballistic missile test. The South Korean news agency cited anonymous military officials also calling it a suspected ICBM test.
The United States and South Korea have issued warnings about North Koreas program to develop ICBMs. Authorities of the two allies said North Koreas launches on Feb. 26 and March 4 involved parts of a new ICBM system, dubbed Hwasong-17. During the pair of tests, the system was not launched at its full range or capability, officials in Seoul and Washington said.
