North Korea launches ballistic missile into the Sea of Japan
The launch comes after Japan labeled Kim Jong-un's regime as a serious threat in its White Paper.
North Korea has carried out a ballistic missile launch into the Sea of Japan. This event occurs two days after the Japanese government described Kim Jong-un's regime as a threat 'more grave and imminent than ever' in its new Defense White Paper.
The action by the North Korean regime is set against a backdrop of increasing tension in the region, particularly following recent statements from Tokyo, which have heightened security alerts in the area.
