North Korea fired a missile over Japan for the first time in eight years, the Pentagon confirmed on Monday, as the rogue nation sent a message of defiance to the U.S. and its allies in the region. North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) determined the missile launch from North Korea did not pose a threat to North America. The South Korean military said the missile flew about 1,700 miles with a height of 341 miles. The missile was the 18th to be launched this year by North Korea. This is the third time North Korea has fired a missile over Japan.
