North Korea fired a ballistic missile on Thursday that flew over Japanese territory, according to alerts in Japan, the second test flight in a month to fly over the country in a record year of missile testing by the nuclear-armed North.

The launch came a day after North Korea fired at least 23 missiles, the most in a single day, including one that landed off South Korea’s coast for the first time.

About 25 minutes after the launch was first reported, Japan’s Coast Guard said the missile had already fallen into the Pacific Ocean.The Yonhap news agency reported the missile went through stage separation, suggesting it may be a long-range weapon. South Korea issued rare air raid warnings and launched its own missiles in response after Wednesday’s barrage.
