Japan says N.Korean missile launches a provocative act

STORY: "The fact that the missile launch occurred right after the Japan-U.S., U.S.-South Korea leader meetings, and the quad summit meeting is obviously a provocative act and we absolutely cannot tolerate it," said Kishi.

There is a possibility that more than two missiles were fired, he told reporters.

South Korea's military said that North Korea had fired three ballistic missiles off its east coast on Wednesday.
