Warning text
AnalysisNotable
No longer in forceJapan Ministry of Defense reports a possible ballistic missile launch from North Korea with an object that may have landed. No impact position is given. Mariners are asked to watch for falling objects, keep clear if they observe them, and report any information to the Japan Coast Guard. Further information will be promulgated.
Pay attention to further information, keep clear if you observe falling objects, and report sightings or information to the Japan Coast Guard.
Background (general knowledge, not from the warning)
North Korea periodically conducts ballistic missile tests that travel over or fall into nearby seas. Japan issues coastal warnings when such launches may affect Japanese waters; precise impact positions are often not immediately available. Mariners in the area are therefore advised to remain vigilant for falling debris and follow instructions from the Japan Coast Guard. This message follows that standard pattern of rapid notification without detailed coordinates.
