North Korea have fired another ballistic missile into the Sea of Japan, according to Japan's Ministry of Defence officials.<\/p>\n
The Japan Coast Guard announced at 6:04 am that a possible ballistic missile was launched from Kim Jong-Un's secretive state and ships have been deployed to investigate the weapon's range, altitude, and speed.<\/p>\n
The reported launch comes two days after a medium-range ballistic missile, thought to be a Hwasong-12, was fired in the Mupyong-ri area of Jagang Province.<\/p>\n

Japan expects the sudden launches to be in protest to the return of the US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the Ronald Reagan, sailing on the Korean Peninsula.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Twitter account belonging to Japan's Prime Minister wrote in response: "North Korea has launched a suspected ballistic missile."<\/p>\n
Several of the first followers to comment on the tweet all asked the same thing, "Again?". <\/p>\n
According to multiple government officials, the missile is believed to have fallen outside Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).<\/p>\n
The US and South Korea have fired four surface-to-surface missiles towards the Sea of Japan as tensions with North Korea continue to rise.<\/p>\n
However, one of the four missiles failed shortly after launch, but luckily there were no casualties.<\/p>\n

The firing of the rockets came almost 24 hours after Kim Jong-un's launching of a missile over Japan.<\/p>\n
That missile landed in the Pacific Ocean but only after a worried Japanese government ordered citizens to seek shelter underground or in buildings in fear of an attack on the mainland.<\/p>\n
It was the first time North Korea had fired a missile over Japan in five years.<\/p>\n
The missiles that the US and South Korea were testing are known to be capable of flying 200 miles.<\/p>\n

They formed part of a second response to North Korea's act of aggression with the US and South Korea also carrying out a precision bombing exercise on Tuesday (October 4).<\/p>\n
That involved a South Korean F-15K fighter firing two two air-to-surface munitions at a virtual target in a firing range west of the Korean Peninsula.<\/p>\n
Such actions represent a significant ramping up in the typical US and South Korean reaction to a North Korea missile test, which is usually limited to the conducting of military exercises.<\/p>\n
