Japan's Defense Ministry says North Korea fired a ballistic missile on Sunday for the second day in a row. It appears to have fallen into the sea outside Japan's exclusive economic zone.

Japan's Defense Minister Hamada Yasukazu said Tokyo has lodged a protest against the North through diplomatic channels in Beijing.
