Abe on the wires

• Abe says he is convening an emergency meeting of officials after the launch

It's after midnight in Tokyo so they're not joking around if they're calling a meeting this late.

The exclusive economic zone he's referring to is likely Japan's territorial waters. Some parts are disputed with North Korea and others.

Update: Now the Pentagon is confirming the launch.
