The rogue regime in North Korea on Thursday triggered evacuation warnings and railway closures in Japan after firing a barrage of at least six missiles, including an ICBM, according to reports.
The LA Times said the missiles, fired into the sea, continued a series of „weapons tests that ha[ve] escalated tensions in the region.“
The launch of the intercontinental ballistic missile was a prelude to the launch of several short-range missiles, prompting the United States to extend its joint air force exercises with South Korea.
Japanese officials said the North Korean missiles traveled as far as 300 miles.
A day earlier, North Korea launched 20 missiles, leaving nations in the region on edge.
„North Korea has further dialed up its testing activity since late September, including what it described as simulated nuclear attacks on South Korean and U.S. targets. It has said its tests are meant as a warning against the United States‘ military drills with allies South Korea and Japan, exercises that it portrays as rehearsals for a potential invasion,“ the report explained.
