TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Foreign Ministry said on Monday that North Korea had fired a land-to-ship missile toward the Sea of Japan, but that it was not considered a direct threat to Japan.
"We understand this was not a ballistic missile and therefore is not considered a direct threat to Japan," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hatsuhisa Takashima said.

He confirmed Japanese media reports that the missile was fired at around midday Japanese time (10 p.m. EST Sunday).
