North Korea reportedly fired another missile, less than two weeks after its suspectedhydrogen bomb test, South Korea's Yonhap News said on Friday morning local time.
South Korean military officials reportedly said that the missile was fired from an airfield near Pyongyang, North Korea's capital, and headed eastward.
Emergency alerts in Japan were issued and an one account claims that it passed over Hokkaido at 7:06 a.m. local time and over to the Pacific Ocean.
Japan did not attempt to shoot down the missile, NHK reported.
In response to the latest provocation, South Korea is reportedly conducting a ballistic missile drill in the East Sea.
A North Korean state agency threatened on Thursday to use nuclear weapons to "sink" Japan and reduce the United States to "ashes and darkness" for supporting a UN Security Council resolution and sanctions over its latest nuclear test, Reuters reported.
Experts estimate that this would be the sixth time a North Korean projectile has flown over Japan.
