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?

Give Seoul a 1 month evacuation order. Build tent cities 10 miles out of Seoul. Spread them out, way out. Make damn sure dinky penis Kim knows what is happening.
When it's time for the shit to hit the fan close the roads into Seoul at 4 AM, nobody gets in. You didn't evacuate? Sux2bu.
Now hit as many of their artillery positions as possible, make sure Pyongyang is devastated, make sure their science research sites are devastated, and make sure anything that looks hinky is devastated. I'm guessing we can nail 90% of their artillery positions, so we're good.
When the dust settled America realized it was saved by a porn star.
