North Korea on Tuesday fired from ground an anti-ship missile towards the Yellow Sea.

The missile flew a distance of about 60 kilometers, Japanese Land, Infrastructure and Transport Minister Chikage Ogi said in the parliament.

Last February and March, North Korea fired ground-launched anti-ship missiles of a not-long range toward the Yellow Sea, as is supposed, during its military exercises.

It was not a violation of the moratorium Pyongyang imposed earlier on long-range ballistic missile tests.

In August 1998, Pyongyang panicked Japan by firing a long-range ballistic missile whose last stage flew over Japan and fell in open waters in the Pacific Ocean.
