Japan Missile Alert: An alert has been issued in Japan after North Korea fired a missile on Monday (May 27). The Japanese government has issued a ‘J Alert’ and instructed its citizens to immediately move to safe places.
In a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office of Japan, it has been said that it seems that a missile has been launched from North Korea. Everyone is requested to take shelter in a building or underground place.
Missile alert withdrawn after 30 minutes
However, this instruction was withdrawn within 30 minutes of issuing the alert. In a statement issued later, it was said that there is no possibility of this missile reaching Japan. Due to this, the alert issued is being withdrawn.
The missile suddenly disappeared from the radar after launch
According to the report of media organization News Week, Japan’s news website NHK Reports said that the missile launched by North Korea had disappeared from the radar. Which simply means that its launch failed.
High alert is already in place in Japan
According to local media organizations of Japan, a ballistic missile was launched by North Korea on Monday. Japan had issued a J-alert in the country regarding this. This matter has come to light at a time when North Korea is going to launch a rocket on June 4, which will carry a satellite. Japan is already on high alert regarding this.
An explosion can be seen in footage released by NHK. Japanese media has quoted government officials as claiming that there is a possibility of some kind of glitch in the launch.
