North Korea has fired a ballistic missile across Japan, creating new tension in the region after its nuclear bomb test less than two weeks ago.

South Korea's military says the missile flew higher and further than one fired over Japan late last month.

 

Japanese Prime Minister, SHINZO ABE said his country would never tolerate such dangerous provocative action.

 

South Korea responded within minutes by firing two ballistic missiles into the sea in a simulated strike on the North.

 

US Secretary of State REX TILLERSON has condemned the launch and the UN Security Council will meet later today in New York at the request of America and Japan.
