Tokyo, 25 March, /AJMEDIA
Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said Friday that North Korea’s launch of a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile has elevated the security threat level.
Pyongyang’s firing of what its state-run media reported was a new “Hwasong-17” intercontinental ballistic missile on Thursday is “a serious threat to the peace and stability of Japan and the international community, moving to a different dimension from its series of previous missile launches,” Kishi told reporters.
