The Australian government had called out the North Korean regime for launching ballistic missiles over Japanese territory for the first time in five years.

Taking to social media, Foreign Minister Penny Wong said Australia strongly condemned the “launch of a ballistic missile over Japanese territory”, which she said was “another demonstration of reckless and unacceptable behaviour that threatens the security of our neighbours and undermines the stability of the Indo-Pacific.”
