North Korea fired off a volley of three ballistic missiles from its west coast Sept. 5 that fell within Japan's exclusive economic zone, a move that Tokyo called a grave threat to national security amid Pyongyang's growing ability to strike the Japanese archipelago.
"This is a threat to Japan's national security," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said at a daily briefing. "At the same time, this is a provocation against the international community as the Group of 20 summit meeting is currently being held." (The Japan Times)
