US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman strongly condemned the missiles fired by North Korea on Wednesday (2), during a conversation with South Korean Deputy Foreign Minister Cho Hyun-dong.
The Seoul Foreign Ministry official said the US counterpart considered the launches “deplorable and immoral”.
North Korea fired at least 10 missiles east and west of the Korean peninsula on Wednesday, including one that landed near South Korean territorial waters for the first time since the 1945 partition, South Korean officials said.
The Japanese government on Wednesday warned residents of the Miyagi, Yamagata and Niigata regions to seek shelter indoors after North Korea’s missile launch. The information was confirmed by the J-Alert Emergency Broadcasting system.
The missile has already passed through Japan’s territory towards the Pacific Ocean, the government said a little earlier.
