(Update) N. Korea Fires Ballistic Missiles toward Sea of Japan

   Seoul/Tokyo, Sept. 12 (Jiji Press)--North Korea fired several short-range ballistic missiles from around Pyongyang toward the Sea of Japan around 7:10 a.m. Thursday, the South Korean military said.
   Japan's Defense Ministry also said an object believed to be a ballistic missile was fired from North Korea the same day. The object apparently fell into waters outside of Japan's exclusive economic zone, according to officials of the ministry.
   It was the first ballistic missile launch by North Korea since July 1.
   Following the latest launch, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida instructed his government staff to make thorough efforts to collect and analyze information about the launch, provide accurate information promptly to the public, confirm the safety of aircraft and ships, and fully prepare for any contingencies.
