An air base used by Japan and the US issued a "real world missile alert" and told personnel to "seek shelter". Japan's coastguard said the projectiles appeared to be ballistic missiles and they landed outside its territorial waters and exclusive economic zone to the east of North Korea. North Korea usually launches missiles in the morning, but this one took place in the afternoon. North Korea had recently warned the US it was losing patience over the stalled talks. North Korea has hit out at South Korea and the US for staging joint military drills that it sees as preparation for an invasion.
