The Japanese government sent an alert to its residents on Tuesday (4), and it remains until Monday night (3) in Brazil. According to the government, a North Korean missile could fly over the country and everyone living in the northern regions of the country must protect themselves.
Guidance is for people to seek shelter and remain safe. “It appears that North Korea has launched a missile. Please evacuate underground buildings or shelters,” the government said in a warning issued at 7:29 a.m. (7:29 p.m. Monday in Brasilia).
About an hour later, the Japanese Coast Guard reported that the missile was expected to land outside the country’s borders. Information is transmitted to the population through official government channels.
The information is published by NHK World News, the international arm of the state-owned company and a major Japanese telecom operator.
The Japanese government says a missile that appears to be a North Korean ballistic missile is likely to flow over Japan.

In addition to Japanese, South Korean and American officials, they have warned for months that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is preparing to conduct another nuclear test. North Korea has launched several missiles in recent months.
Some believe that the nuclear test could take place shortly after the upcoming Congress of the Communist Party of China on October 16. North Korea, which has been the target of several UN sanctions over its weapons programs, usually seeks to maximize the geopolitical impact of its tests in due course.
By the way, this week North Korea defended the annexation of the occupied territories of Ukraine by Russia and criticized the position of the United States – allies of Kyiv.
