The Sun reports:
TYRANNICAL Kim Jong-un has today fired another ballistic test missile thought to have landed off the coast of Japan.
The missile may have landed in Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone, the coastal areas surrounding the country which it has rights to for industry such as fishing and drilling.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said a meeting of the National Security Council would be convened and that Japan would take every necessary step to ensure the safety of its citizens.
Increasingly exasperated Japanese officials responded strongly by warning Japan “absolutely cannot tolerate” its repeated provocations.
US Pentagon spokesman Navy Captain Jeff Davis said: “I can confirm that we detected a launch of a ballistic missile from North Korea.
“We are assessing and will have more information soon.”
The missile launch comes one day after U.S. Army Chief of Staff General Mark Milley warned the Hermit Kingdom the U.S. military would “utterly destroy” North Korea in a war.
Newsweek reported:
The U.S. would “utterly destroy” the North Korean military in a war, the U.S. army’s top uniformed official said on Thursday.
Army Chief of Staff General Mark Milley warned, however, that war in the Korean peninsula would be “highly deadly,” bearing a high cost in terms of human life, infrastructure and economic fallout.
“War in the Korean peninsula would be terrible, however a nuclear weapon detonating in Los Angeles would be [even more] terrible,” Milley said in a speech to the National Press Club in Washington, about America’s security threats. “North Korea is the single, most-dangerous threat facing the international community and the U.S. today”
In the past year, North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un has test-fired 28 ballistic missiles, which is more than his father and grandfather during their entire reigns combined.
