North Korea has fired yet another missile over Japan, Japanese and Korean media say, a few hours after Pyongyang threatened to “sink” its south eastern neighbor.

The missile launch on early Friday prompted officials to ask people in the Japanese island of Hokkaido to take shelter.

Pyongyang had threatened to “sink” Japan earlier on Thursday, saying the country “no longer needed to exist near us.” The move came less than three weeks after the North fired another missile over Japanese territories.
