Japan has condemned the DPRK's latest missile launch, which reportedly took place early on Tuesday morning. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters that Japan, the US and South Korea will urge the international community to put more pressure on Pyongyang.
"This missile launch clearly shows that the DPRK threat has increased... At the G20 leaders meeting where the world leaders will gather, I would like to strongly appeal for unity in the approach of the international community regarding this DPRK issue," Abe said.
