An urgent meeting of the Security Council will be held Tuesday in New York at the request of Tokyo and Washington after Pyongyang fired a missile over Japan, diplomatic sources said.
According to Agence France Presse, the call comes after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and US President Donald Trump agreed to "escalate the pressure on North Korea," Abe said.
"We must immediately hold an emergency meeting at the United Nations and increase pressure on North Korea," Abe said in Tokyo after a 40-minute phone call with the US president.
According to the Japanese prime minister, Trump reiterated "the 100% strong commitment of the United States and its ally Japan" after this "unprecedented threat".
Abe also stressed the important role of China and Russia in urging North Korea to "change its policy."
The South Korean army and the Japanese government announced earlier Tuesday that North Korea had fired a missile over Japan in a context of tension between Washington and Pyongyang.
The South Korean General Staff said in a statement that the "extruder of an unspecified type" was launched from Pyongyang at 05.57 local time (20.57 GMT Monday), indicating that the projectile was launched eastward and shaved "over" Japan .
"South Korea and the United States are jointly analyzing the details" of the projectile launch.
Kyodo news agency reported that the North Korean missile apparently penetrated Japan's airspace.
Prime Minister Yoshihid Soja said the missile posed a "serious and serious threat to Japan's security".
The missile was fired over the island of Hokkaido (north) and later landed in the waters of the Pacific, 1180 kilometers east of the Japanese coast, without causing damage to aircraft or ships anchored in the area, the Japanese authorities said.
The Pentagon said North Korea had fired a missile at Japan, but said it was not a threat to North America.
North Korea fired three short-range missiles on the Sea of ​​Japan on Saturday as tens of thousands of US and South Korean troops took part in maneuvers on the Korean Peninsula.
But North Korea's launch on Tuesday was an escalation by Pyongyang, which recently threatened to target the US island of Guam.

North Korea launches a missile over Japan in a severe escalation of tension



Release date: 2017/8/29



North Korea fired a missile Tuesday morning over Japan and landed in the waters of the Pacific Ocean off Japan's Hokkaido island, South Korea and Japan said.
North Korea last fired a missile over Japan in 2009.
The United States, South Korea and Japan considered the launch a test of a ballistic missile while North Korea said it was carrying a communications satellite into orbit.
The latest missile was fired from the Sonan area near Pyongyang shortly before 6.06 am (2106 GMT on Monday) and it was flying 2,700 kilometers and reaching a height of 550 kilometers, the South Korean military said.
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihidi Soja said the North Korean missile landed at sea 1,880 kilometers east of Cape Irimo in Hokkaido.
"This is an unprecedented threat to our nation," Suja said in a statement. "The government has protested in the strongest terms about North Korea's move.
He said the launch was a clear violation of UN resolutions and that his country would work closely with the United States, South Korea and other concerned countries on responding to that move.
The radio reported that the missile crashed into three parts and fell in the water off Hokkaido.
The Japanese government's J-Alert system advised people in the area to take precautions.
The Japanese military did not try to drop the missile that passed over Japanese territory at about 6.06 am (2106 GMT).
The Pentagon confirmed the flight over Japan but said it was not a threat to North America.
"We can confirm that the missile fired by North Korea flew over Japan," Pentagon spokesman Col. Robert Manning told reporters.
He said the US military was gathering more information.
"The North American Air Defense Command has determined that the launch of the missile from North Korea did not pose a threat to North America."
The launch represents a major escalation of tension over Pyongyang's pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles in defiance of UN sanctions.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un threatened this month to fire rockets into the sea near Guam and US President Donald Trump warned Pyongyang that it would face "fire and anger" if the United States threatened.

North Korea tested a ballistic missile toward northern Japan




North Korea tested a new ballistic missile on northern Japan Tuesday before falling into the sea, the Japanese government said.

The army did not intervene to shoot down the rocket that passed through Japanese territory at dawn on Tuesday (2106) GMT.

Local media reported that the missile crashed, the first time a missile fired by Pyongyang landed on Japan in eight years.

In his first comment following the rocket launch, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe vowed he would do his utmost to protect citizens.

"We will do our best to protect the lives of the citizens," he told reporters briefly before entering an emergency meeting at his Tokyo office.

The system, which is designed to operate all radio systems in order to issue warnings in the event of any emergency, warned citizens in the region to take all precautions, but the Japanese Broadcasting Corporation confirmed no losses.

State Minister for Cabinet Affairs Yoshihid Soja described the latest test as an "unprecedented" threat, stressing that Japan would take "appropriate steps" in response.

Japan is likely to deal with the latest test as a dangerous escalation of tension due to the missile's trajectory, said Yujita Limay, a BBC correspondent in Seoul.

The Pentagon said Tuesday's test was not a threat to the United States, and the military was working to gather more intelligence on the matter.

Earlier this month, North Korea threatened to fire missiles at the US Pacific region of Guam, while US President Donald Trump warned that Pyongyang would face "fire and anger" if the United States threatened.

The launch of the new flag comes after Pyongyang announced its experience of what it said was a new type of ballistic missile capable of carrying large-scale nuclear warheads.
