North Korea Fires ICBM Missile; Flies 45 Minutes, Lands In Japan Waters

Tyler Durden's picture

Perhaps sensing that Trump is rather vulnerable right now, and confirming reports from two days ago that an ICBM launch is imminent, moments ago Japan’s NHK reported that North Korea has fired “what appears to be a missile”, which Kyodo has since classified as an ICBM, which landed in Japan’s exclusive economic zone. The Pentagon, as reported by Fox news, confirms that Japan has indeed launched a ballistic missile, and is assessing the results.

Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on comments carried on TV that North Korea has again launched a missile, which may have landed in the waters of Japan’s exclusive economic zone, confirming an earlier report by NHK which said the missile may have landed in the waters near Japan, citing Japan Coast Guard. NHK adds that Japan Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga to give briefly shortly.

Japan Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga says that the missile flew for about 45 minutes before landing in Japan’s exclusive economic zone. The landing zone is shown in the map below:

According to the Pentagon, the missile reached altitude of 3700km (2300 mile), prompting defense reporters to speculated that a “good portion of US is within striking range. Reliable ICBM by early next year.”

According to VoA, statement from the Dept of Defense is expected soon on the latest DPRK missile launch.

As Citi writes, the current confused US and China policy on North Korea is doing little to stem these tests. On Wednesday we reported that NKorea was preparing for another launch. Meanwhile the Washington Post reported earlier this week that NK will likely be able to produce a nuclear-capable warhead by 2018 – a full two years ahead of schedule.

Ah, N. Korea, the land of milk and honey thanks to Bill Clinton.
He got N. Korea to give up their Nuclear ambitions for tons of money and oil (wasn’t it something like 700,000 barrels of oil?).

Yup, the peace dividend from the U.S., France, Russia, and I don’t know what other countries.

At least we don’t have to worry about a Nuclear N. Korea anymore.

North Korea has fired “what appears to be a missile”

Fox news, confirms that Japan has indeed launched a ballistic missile,

N. Korea launched a missile, Japan launched a missile… HUH?
Typo’s anyone? Apparently the position of editor or proof reader doesn’t exist anymore.

Just a random thought – not a suggestion that we actually DO this, mind you, but…. What if, we were to shoot one of these things down (assuming the fucking THAAD or GMD works properly)? Wouldn’t this be a mid-point action located between wringing our hands to no good effect, and all out war on the peninsula? If we could pull it off, and use the pretext that it is presenting a threat to the Japanese exclusive economic zone (which it is, BTW), it would send several messages to not only the DPRK but the Fraud Kingdom (China) as well.

US General Mark Milley , the Chief of Army Staff , is reported in some news media to have opined on 27 July 2017 that North Korea’s July 4 test of ICBM shows its capabilities were advancing significantly faster than many expected. This news is obviously a signal of likely grave danger any time for world which is already stressful here and there with clouds of WW3 hovering over the sky in 2017. Now , North Korea is reported to have tested another ICBM, on 28 July 2017, generating huge concern , among others , US also . Closely and precisely relevant to these news pieces are this Vedic astrology writer’s predictive alerts of 16 May 2017 in article – “ Is World War III round the corner?” – published in the summer ( April to June) 2017 issue of The Astrologer’s Notebook , a quarterly print Newsletter from North Port , Florida. While seeking to alert global community for more care and appropriate strategy against coming up likelihood of WW3 through the aforesaid article , this writer had said that near and during August-September in 2017, major worrisome concerns of security nature may crop up involving vulnerable countries round the globe, apart from other catastrophic scenario like massive floods , earthquakes , health hazards or epidemics , break-up of unions or associations where vulnerable , economic crisis or even collapse, ethnic or racial concerns and the like. It was also added : -“ The global events predicted in this article could begin to show up in mild measure from 24 June and after in the present year 2017 to grow gradually and significantly for a final show during 19 August to 4 September , with peak hype on 30 August in 2017”. There is another prediction of this writer coming to same alert for US. In this writer’s article of September 2016 – “ Astrological probable alerts for US in 2017” – published in December 2016 issue of wisdom-magazine.com , US was sought to be alerted by saying that chances of some engagement in active war in August-September 2017 may crop up. So alert of this writer made on 16 May 2017 is quite clear precisely matching with the opinion of US General Mark Milley on 27 July 2017 in relation to North Korea.

Fuck it. Ignore it. The hell with sending a message. Messages lead to war.

North Korea is a peace loving nation that minds its own business and leaves other nations alone.

It is just trying to protect itself from the constant aggressive actions of Japan and South Korea against it.
