No longer in forcePossible ballistic missile launched from North Korea - Japanese coastal warning
Japan 6th Regional Coast Guard issued a local warning reporting a possible ballistic missile launched from North Korea that may have landed. Mariners are asked to watch for falling objects, keep clear if any are sighted, and report information to the Japan Coast Guard. The message was promulgated 12 at 0926 JST (00:26 UTC). No impact positions or times are given.
Keep clear of any falling objects, maintain a sharp lookout and report any sightings or relevant information to the Japan Coast Guard.
Background
North Korea periodically conducts ballistic missile launches that can overfly or fall into nearby seas. Japanese coast guard and defence authorities routinely issue maritime warnings when launches occur or are suspected to have landed. Such warnings are intended to alert commercial and recreational vessels to the risk of falling debris rather than providing precise impact locations. Mariners in the region should expect follow-up notices from Japanese authorities giving more precise locations if available.
