North Korea today said that it had fired a missile over Japan the previous day, the first time it has ever acknowledged doing so.

The Hwasong-12 intermediate-range missile, whose launch was supervised by leader Kim Jong-Un, "crossed the sky above Oshima peninsula of Hokkaido and Cape Erimo of Japan along the preset flight track and accurately hit the preset target waters in northern Pacific", the official KCNA news agency reported.
