No longer in forceJapan Ministry of Defense reports a possible ballistic missile launched from North Korea that may have landed. The 11th Regional Coast Guard issued the warning at PROMULGATION TIME 291252 JST OCT. Mariners are asked to watch for falling objects and to report any sightings to the Japan Coast Guard. Further information will be broadcast as available.
Pay attention to further information, keep clear if you observe falling objects, and report sightings to the Japan Coast Guard.
Background (general knowledge, not from the warning)
North Korea periodically conducts ballistic missile launches; trajectories frequently overfly or land in surrounding seas. The Japanese Ministry of Defense routinely issues alerts when launches occur and the Regional Coast Guard notifies mariners of potential falling debris. Because this warning gives no impact coordinates or safety zone, the hazard area and shape are uncertain and could extend into Japanese territorial or adjacent waters. Mariners in the region should expect further official updates from the Japan Ministry of Defense and Japan Coast Guard.
