It comes hours after an earlier North Korean missile launch sparked terror in Japan, sending people scrambling for bomb shelters. South Korea responded to the provocation by Kim Jong-un by announcing the extension of air drills with the United States. Thursday's long-range missile ultimately failed and broke apart over the Sea of Japan before falling short in the ocean. But had it failed over Japanese territory, it could well have struck an inhabited area, sparking a major international crisis. Footage from Joetsu City in Japan's Niigata Prefecture filmed on Thursday shows sirens blaring with residents being warned to stay inside. Japanese prime minister Fumio Kishida denounced the missile launches from North Korea in a fiery response. "The continued firing of these weapons, day after day, is an outrage and cannot be tolerated," he said.){kind=link}
