The ballistic missile that North Korea launched on Monday is an ICBM-class missile that has a range of more than 15,000 km (9,300 miles) and can reach anywhere in the United States, a Japanese government official said.
Parliamentary Vice Minister of Defense Shingo Miyake made the comments to reporters, adding the missile flew about 73 minutes.
The United States on Sunday condemned North Korea's ballistic missile launches, which it said pose a threat to the country's neighbors, according to a State Department spokesperson.
"These launches, like the other ballistic missile launches Pyongyang has conducted this year, are in violation of multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions," a spokesperson said.
