The Japanese government issued an emergency alert after North Korea launched what appears to be a ballistic missile towards Japan. The J-Alert system was activated, urging residents of Okinawa Prefecture to take shelter immediately. The missile, initially suspected to be a satellite launch, was later reported by Japan's Coast Guard and the South Korean military. An explosion was seen in the sky, and the missile disappeared from radar, indicating a possible malfunction. The Japanese government has since lifted the evacuation alert, stating the missile is not expected to reach Japan. Sources include NHK News and Reuters.
