北朝鮮がミサイルのようなものを発射 日本海に落ちる
[1月5日 16時10分]
防衛省によると、北朝鮮は5日の朝8時ごろ、ミサイルのようなものを東に向かって発射しました。防衛省は、今までと同じようなミサイルだったら、500kmぐらい飛んで日本海に落ちたと考えています。
5日の昼までに、このミサイルのようなもので日本の飛行機や船に被害が出たという連絡はありません。防衛省は、落ちた場所やどのくらい飛んだかを調べています。
松野官房長官は「北朝鮮は何度もミサイルを発射していて、日本の平和と安全を壊すようなことをしています。世界でも大きな問題です」と話しました。
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
