No longer in forcePotential North Korean ballistic missile impact reported by Japan 7th RCG
Japan 7th Regional Coast Guard reports a possible ballistic missile launch from North Korea and that the object may have landed. Mariners are asked to be alert for falling objects and await further information. Report sightings to the Japan Coast Guard.
Be vigilant for falling objects, keep clear if you observe debris, and report information to the Japan Coast Guard.
Background
North Korea periodically conducts ballistic missile launches that can travel over the sea and result in debris or impact in maritime areas. Japanese regional coast guard warnings are issued when launches or potential impacts are detected to alert mariners to falling debris. The warning gives no impact coordinates, so hazard locations are uncertain and could cover wide areas along flight or impact corridors. Mariners in the region should follow official updates from Japanese authorities.
