North Korea fired missiles

North Korea fired several short-range guided missiles into the sea that separates it from Japan in an apparent test launch.

The North's test was in response to South Korea's launch of its first destroyer equipped with high-tech Aegis radar technology. South Korea is now one of only five countries armed with the technology, which will make it easier to track and shoot down North Korean aircraft and missiles.

I do not consider the missile firing as a serious threat to Japan's national security but reveal the lack of confidence among these countries.

We need to see more diplomacy in the foreign policy of Japan, S Korea and N Korea. The politics relations between these asians governments is widely dominated by the military position.
