JAPAN –  Japan has warned North Korean missiles pose “a serious threat” after the country carried out new tests in defiance of international sanctions.

North Korea launched two missiles within hours of each other, with one flying about 400km (250 miles) and reaching an altitude of 1,000km. A confirmed successful test would mark a step forward for North Korea after four failed launches in recent months. South Korea, the US and Nato have also expressed alarm over the latest tests.(BBC.COM/photo :Reuters)…[+]
