Earlier: Japan govt warns North Korea missile headed toward northern Japan
And, more from earlier:
- More on the North Korean missile launch
- US military says North Korea missile did not pose a threat to North America
And: USD/JPY on session lows as yen buyers continue in wake of North Korean missile test
As I said in the first and subsequent posts - this is an escalation, and added in my oprevious post on this:
An overflight of Japanese airspace by a ballistic missile is a
violation of Japan's airspace & sovereignty. It is a serious
offense.
Read this again ...
- An overflight of Japanese airspace by a ballistic missile
Let that sink in. This is a big deal, this is a big escalation.
