North Korea test missiles reach close to Japan

By Duncan Mil

March 6, 2017 - North Korea fired four ballistic missiles that flew about 1,000 kilometers, with three of them landing in waters as close as 300km off Japan’s northwest coast -- in Japan’s exclusive economic zone.

The exact type of missiles fired remains unclear. However, Monday's launches were made from North Korea’s Sohae rocket launch site in the Tongchang-ri area in North Pyongan province.

The Korean Peninsula remains in a technical state of war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice and not a peace treaty.
