Japan said that the missile likely passed over its territory and has
warned residents to take shelter, local media report.

South Korea and the US are analysing the details of the reported launch, Yonhap news agency reports.
Last month, North Korea fired a missile over Japan in what Tokyo called
an "unprecedented threat" to the country.

whew + lol are we all still here?? :)
the US is to be commended for showing such restraint, i mean i really
thought they were gonna shoot the next one down regardless, but apparently not... which is a GOOD thing!
iow: they're still basing their next action on the predicted trajectory of anything ding-dong lets off rather than forcing the issue, thank goodness calmer minds have prevailed?
problem THERE is; doing nothing isn't exactly a "strong" response??
in which case, the US appears (to NK) to be backing-off/only-bluffing all along, and will likely then go a lot farther in flexing its
muscles/showing-off its ability to hold the world to ransom!
his last launch proving that his shit actually HAS the range to hit just
about everyone, including mainland usa!
quite surprising that 'nothing' happened really...
or perhaps the US also wanted to see if ding-dong did actually have the
range he's claiming?
which apparently he does! (better not point anything at guam or hawaii
though!)
meanwhile, japan's just ordered 'another' supertanker-load of toilet
tissue & clean-ups after yesterday's launch again sent everyone scurrying
to 'duck & cover' as people's phones all over japan simultaneously
received emergency messages to seek immediate shelter whilst loud sirens
roared country-wide...
stocks & shares in the bathroom industry likely making a pretty good
investment in these (pfffffft!) troubled times? :)
