Background
North Korea has conducted ballistic missile launches in the past that can travel over or fall into waters near Japan. Such launches are usually announced by regional authorities when they pose potential risk to shipping or aviation. Warnings of this type advise mariners to watch for falling debris and report any observations so coastal authorities can assess hazard and coordinate notices. The 6th Regional Coast Guard issues local warnings affecting Japanese territorial waters and adjacent sea areas.
