The Japanese government is warning that North Korea appears to have launched at least one ballistic missile. There's a possibility it's heading toward Japan. The government is urging everyone in the country to take shelter immediately.

I believe they were usually towards the ocean as I always get those notifications from NHK too. These ones are aimed AT Japan though, or going directly overhead them which is scary.

They've been firing several ballistic missiles into the sea this past week. Japan even made a statement about it.

Generally they do it for attention. In this specific instance, I wouldn't be shocked if Putin has been pushing (and possibly supporting them) into doing more missile tests, likely because it creates yet another "crisis" for the world to fixate on to take attention away from their losses in Ukraine.

I think the bigger point is that if they can have a missile fly over Japan, it means they can hit Japan when they want to. Or at least, they can fire missiles with the potential to do so.

Anyone who's familiar with Asian politics. Why doesnt China put a stop to this? I know China hates Japan.

but if NK pushes Japan into war then that means America would have to support Japan. Pushing China into support with NK.

The last thing China wants is a war with America so it seems in their best interest to stop these things.

Which really highlights how important cyber security is, as estimates put a full third of their funding for their weapons program coming from cyber attacks:
https://www.businessinsider.com/north-korea-missile-program-funded-by-cyberattacks-us-official-2022-7

Unsurprisingly, crypto plays a huge part in it as well:
A 2022 UN report says that North Korean hackers walked away with more than $400 million in cryptocurrency during cyberattacks in 2021.

The short answer is radar. China is extremely worried about long range US radar systems being deployed close enough to their borders to penetrate their outer defenses. It's why they militarized all those islands in the south china sea. It's why they keep NK around. Better to have a crazy and reckless ally who will always be on your side than one who might one day ally with the west.

Normally it's into the sea of Japan. Not at any target that would have the missile pass through Japanese airspace.
