North Korea conducts longest-range missile test yet over Japan

2022-10-04 5 Dailymotion

North Korea launches an unknown missile that flew over the entirety of the territory of Japan. Japanese air raid warning systems kicked in, people were taking shelter. The missile is no longer a threat, it’s unclear how far it flew at the moment. This is North Korea’s longest ranged test, possibly ever.

It was the first North Korean missile to follow a trajectory over Japan since 2017, and its estimated 4,600 km (2,850 mile) flight was the longest in a North Korean test, which are usually "lofted" into space to avoid flying over neighbouring countries.
