Editor\u2019s note: This article has been updated with additional information from Japan and South Korea.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEOUL, South Korea \u2014 North Korea<\/a> on Tuesday fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile over Japan for the first time in five years, forcing Japan to issue evacuation notices and suspend trains, as the North escalates tests of weapons designed to strike regional U.S. allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the most significant missile test by North Korea since January, when it fired the Hwasong-12 intermediate-range missile capable of reaching the U.S. territory of Guam. It is also the first time that a North Korea missile has flown over Japan since 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Japanese prime minister\u2019s office said at least one missile fired from North Korea flew over Japan and was believed to have landed into the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japanese authorities alerted residents in northeastern regions to evacuate to shelters, in the first \u201cJ-alert\u201d alert since 2017<\/a> when North Korea fired a Hwasong-12 missile over Japan in its previous provocative run of weapons tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trains were suspended in the Hokkaido and Aomori regions until the government issued a subsequent notice that the North Korean missile appeared to have landed into the Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told reporters that \u201cthe firing, which followed a recent series of launches by North Korea, is a reckless act and I strongly condemn it.\u201d He said he will a National Security Council to discuss the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said no damage was immediately reported from the missile that flew 22 minutes and landed in waters outside the country\u2019s exclusive economic zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Korea\u2019s Joint Chiefs of Staff said it also detected the launch of what it called a ballistic missile that was fired from the North\u2019s northern inland area. It said the South Korean military bolsters its surveillance posture and maintains readiness in close coordination with the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Korea President Yoon Suk Yeol said North Korea launched an intermediate-range missile whose range is 2,485 miles. It is a range that places Guam within striking distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoon said he called a National Security Council meeting to discuss the launch and that the North\u2019s \u201creckless nuclear provocations\u201d would meet the stern response of the South and the broader international community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch is the fifth round of weapons tests by North Korea<\/a> in the past 10 days in what was seen as an apparent response to bilateral military drills between South Korea and the United States<\/a> and the allies\u2019 other training involving Japan last week. North Korea views such drills as an invasion rehearsal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The missiles fired during the past four rounds of launches were short-range and fell in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan. Those missiles are capable of hitting targets in South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Korea has test-fired about 40 missiles over about 20 different launch events this year as its leader Kim Jong Un vows to expand his nuclear arsenal and refuses to return to nuclear diplomacy with the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some experts say Kim eventually would try to use his enlarged arsenal to pressure Washington to accept his country as a nuclear state, a recognition that he thinks is necessary to win the lifting of international sanctions and other concessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
