The U.S. Indo Pacific Command said the launches highlighted the “destabilizing impact” of North Korea’s illicit nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs. The Japanese Defense Ministry said it also detected the launches and that the type of missiles used and their flight information were still being analyzed. South Korea's Foreign Ministry said its top nuclear envoy held separate phone talks with his U.S. and Japanese counterparts soon after the launches. It said the three agreed to strengthen trilateral coordination on North Korea while repeating their calls for the North to stop weapons tests and return to talks. Since late September, North Korea has launched a barrage of missiles toward the sea in what it called simulated tests of tactical nuclear weapons systems designed to attack South Korean and U.S. targets. North Korea says its testing activities were meant to issue a warning amid a series of South Korea-U.S. military drills. But some experts say Pyongyang has also used its rivals’ drills as a chance to test new weapons systems, boost its nuclear capability and increase its leverage in future dealings with Washington and Seoul.

Torrential rain and tornado-like winds are lashing large parts of Japan, as the country endures what could be its worst storm for 60 years. The eye of Typhoon Hagibis made landfall shortly before 19:00 local time (10:00 GMT) in Izu Peninsula, southwest of Tokyo. More than seven million people have been urged to leave their homes amid severe flood and landslide warnings. Train services have been halted, and more than a thousand flights grounded. One man was killed in Chiba, east of Tokyo, when high winds flipped his car.

International tourists arrived at Tokyo's Haneda Airport on Tuesday morning after a daily limit on the number of visitors from overseas was ended and visa-free travel reintroduced for travelers from around 60 countries.

North Korea continued its barrage of weapons tests on Thursday, firing at least three missiles including a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile that forced the Japanese government to issue evacuation alerts and temporarily halt trains.

At least 10 people have been killed after a tourist boast went missing off the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, the Japan Coast Guard says. They say the search is continuing in frigid waters for 16 others who were on board the Kazu 1 vessel. Contact with the boat was lost after it said it was taking on water at 13:15 local time (04:15 GMT) on Saturday. The Kazu 1 is believed to have been on a three-hour sightseeing voyage around the Shiretoko Peninsula.

The Japanese government branded North Korea's missile launches ‘unacceptable,' after Pyongyang fired another potential ballistic missile that flew at an extremely low altitude of less than 31 miles and landed outside of Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone.

Japanese prime minister Fumio Kishida calls for 'the highest level of vigilance' needed against mudslides, flooding and overflowing rivers, as typhoon Nanmadol made landfall in south-western Japan on Sunday night.

North Korea fired 23 missiles this morning, triggering panic.

Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was apparently shot at and collapsed during a campaign speech tonight in Nara. Local 4 is told Abe was rushed to the hospital.

Over 1,400 people arrived Saturday on flights from Japan.

A powerful earthquake has been recorded in north-east Japan and is reported to have cut power to two million homes. The tremor was recorded at magnitude 7.3 and in some areas is said to have reached 6-plus on Japan's shaking intensity scale, making it too forceful for people to stand.

Japan is clearing up the damage after a powerful earthquake. The 7.4-magnitude quake, which struck late last night (March 16) off the coast of Fukushima, has killed at least three people. More than 190 have been injured across 12 prefectures. Power has been gradually restored in millions of homes, but several thousands are still without water. A tsunami warning was briefly issued. Hundreds of people living along the coasts of Fukushima and Miyagi were evacuated to shelters.
