Japan says three NKorean missiles landed in its waters

TOKYO: Three of the four missiles North Korea launched Monday landed in Japanese-controlled waters, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said, calling the development a "new stage of threat".

"North Korea today fired four ballistic missiles almost simultaneously and they flew some 1,000 kilometres (620 miles)," Abe said in parliament. "Three of them landed in our country's Exclusive Economic Zone."
