North Korea has once again launched a new missile test designed to provoke allies in the Pacific, according to the United States, Japan, and China.
The most recent launch landed off the shores of the shores Hokkaido, the northernmost island in Japan, known for its powerful geological phenomenon such as volcanoes and hot springs.

The new missile is alleged to have flown to altitudes of around 1,874 miles, according to the Pentagon.
Japan claims that is a possibility the missile could have landed in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of Japan, in the Sea of Japan, said the country's Defense Ministry, which has created havoc as Japan is now expected to hold an emergency meeting with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to discuss a response to the provocation.
South Korea has officially confirmed that an "unidentified missile" had been fired from the North Korean rogue state, which continues to threaten the existence of Seoul.
According to the South Korean data, what appears to be a ballistic missile was launched late on Friday from the Northern Jangang Province of North Korea.

Many on social media are already incoherently laughing at the increased threats from North Korea suggesting that Kim Jong Un is literally sealing the fate of his people by continuing to test the patience of America under President Donald Trump.

While it appears that this isn't a humorous matter, North Korea continues to defy the entire civilized world in a threatening fashion designed to cause mass hysteria in the Pacific.
Japanese Defense officials say that the missile stayed in the air for about 45 minutes, with their South Korean counterparts adding that the reported weapon landed in the sea off North Korea's east coast.
The United States also confirmed what it "assesses" to be "a ballistic missile launch" from North Korea, according to Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis who said the launch occurred at about 10:45 AM (local time).
The Japanese Prime Minister said that the reported launch "shows clearly that the threat… is severe and real," Abe said, calling on other nations, including the US, Russia, South Korea and China to increase pressure on Pyongyang.
Earlier on Friday, Tokyo had approved additional sanctions on Pyongyang and foreign firms believed to be dealing with North Korea.
Othera from Japan are also expressing a multinational concern, including Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida who said that five entities, including two Chinese organizations, and nine individuals, will be "newly subject to asset freezing" and other unilateral punishment.
The additional international pressure on Pyongyang is needed as any meaningful dialogue with North Korea appears to be "impossible," Kishida reportedly stressed.
The United States Senate has also approved increasing further sanctions on three nations, including North Korea, with the bill now on its way to President Donald Trump for confirmation.

Get formal agreement from China, send in some strategic MOAB's for fat boy and co on fat fuck island, crush top brass. Afterwards send in combined force S.K, USA and China, mop up remaining toadies, share help in rebooting N.K's economy and merge S and N Korea back together. It could be done now because China doesn't need N.K or Kim fat fuck as a buffer zone any more. Not only that but there are families that were ripped apart that would help the process.
