Background
North Korea periodically conducts missile launches, including tests of short- and long-range ballistic missiles. Such launches can produce falling debris or stages that may travel far from the launch site and pose a hazard to shipping and aircraft. Coastal authorities in Japan routinely issue warnings when launches are detected or reported by defence agencies. Mariners in nearby seas are commonly asked to remain vigilant and report any sightings to maritime authorities.
