北朝鮮きたちょうせんがミサイルのようなものを発射はっしゃ 日本海にほんかいに落おちる

[1月5日 16時10分]

防衛省ぼうえいしょうによると、北朝鮮きたちょうせんは5日いつかの朝あさ8時じごろ、ミサイルのようなものを東ひがしに向むかって発射はっしゃしました。防衛省ぼうえいしょうは、今いままでと同おなじようなミサイルだったら、500kmぐらい飛とんで日本海にほんかいに落おちたと考かんがえています。

5日いつかの昼ひるまでに、このミサイルのようなもので日本にっぽんの飛行機ひこうきや船ふねに被害ひがいが出でたという連絡れんらくはありません。防衛省ぼうえいしょうは、落おちた場所ばしょやどのくらい飛とんだかを調しらべています。

松野まつの官房長官かんぼうちょうかんは「北朝鮮きたちょうせんは何なん度どもミサイルを発射はっしゃしていて、日本にっぽんの平和へいわと安全あんぜんを壊こわすようなことをしています。世界せかいでも大おおきな問題もんだいです」と話はなしました。

My thought

Why does any country try to destroy other countries in this way? This is very sensitive matter so I rather not criticize any but I am just hoping there will be peace in the world. We have been suffering enough due to the pandemic.

HEIWA/平和
