CNBC/Reuters: North Korean projectile landed in Japan’s exclusive economic zone, Tokyo says

* A North Korean missile appears to have fallen into Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone Wednesday morning, Japan’s top government spokesman said.
* There were no reports so far of any impact on aircraft or ships in the vicinity.

North Korea carried out another projectile launch on Wednesday, the South Korean military and Japan’s Coast Guard said, a day after North Korea announced it will hold working-level talks with the United States at the weekend.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said North Korea fired an unidentified projectile on Wednesday morning from around Wonsan, in southeast Kangwon province, towards the sea to the east.

Japan’s Coast Guard said in a statement North Korea had launched what appeared to be a missile and urged vessels to pay attention to further information and not to approach any debris.
