In a major show of defiance to the international community, North Korea fired a ballistic missile over the northern American island of Attu on Friday passing directly over Japan.
The launch is the third to fly over Japan in less than a few months, and the second since North Korea's sixth nuclear test and new United Nations sanctions on the country.
North Korean state media has yet to reference the launch, but a commentary published in the Rodong Sinmun newspaper Friday said "no matter how strong the pressure is, it doesn't work on us."
Tokyo and Washington will be seeking to up that pressure at the United Nations Friday, with the two governments calling a snap meeting of the Security Council for Friday afternoon, ahead of the General Assembly next week.
Speaking after the launch, the first since North Korea's seventh nuclear test, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the launch was "totally unacceptable" and went against "the international community's strong, united will for a peaceful solution." US President Trump said the launch was "totally expected of a nuisance, a big nuisance and that spells war."
Friday's missile test follows the release of a statement Wednesday, in which the North Korean state news agency KCNA threatened the "four islands of the American archipelago should be sunken into the sea by the nuclear bomb of Juche," referring to the ruling ideology of North Korea.
