The BBC is reporting that North Korea has fired another missile:
North Korea has fired a missile eastwards from its capital, Pyongyang, towards Japan, media reports say.
Japan said that the missile likely passed over its territory and has warned residents to take shelter, local media report.
South Korea and the US are analysing the details of the launch, the South's military said.
Al Jazeera reports:
The projectile was launched at 6:57am (21:57GMT Thursday) and flew over the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido before falling into the Pacific Ocean - 2,000km east of Cape Erimo, said Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga.
"Japan protests the latest launch in the strongest terms and will take appropriate and timely action at the United Nations and elsewhere, staying in close contact with the United States and South Korea," Suga told reporters.
South Korea's defence ministry said the missile travelled about 3,700km and reached a maximum altitude of 770km - both higher and further than previous tests.
Just more saber rattling? Another step in escalation? What's next?

Just the males? Why, exactly? You do realize that many dynasties have been preserved by the females of the family? If you're going to take out a family, you have to take out ALL of the family. We all remember that females have DNA too, right?
Hell, the communists knew that when they took out the Tsar and his family. There were zero survivors.

I've been wondering if there isn't a radfem posting AC here. At first I thought it was satire, and now I'm not so sure. I'll never know one way or the other, so it's not like I give a damn which it is.
All I know is that there seem to be a preponderance of people who assume, for reasons I cannot comprehend, that evil is a trait that solely exists on the Y chromosome.
Kill all the male heirs, topple the patriarchy, and it'll be unicorns and rainbows from then on out, they think.
This is why we need more women in positions of power. There's no better way to demonstrate that women are just as selfish, greedy, and evil as men than diversity.
