it turned out not to be the case that did not land actually in any way japan's land area. but it just shows the ongoing danger. all of the north korea's position that they determined to show that they have a threatening capacity to deter any attacks upon its territory. and they're wanting to maintain attention. made all the other international crises, such as the chinese military exercises around try one this week. and of course, you're going warn you cry, how much then would this have been meant as a, a statement to the south korean presence, recent visits to japan. it's very much a statement about that because a president, you know, having a very successful summit with the prime minister from your kisha last month. they very much restored diplomatic relations and that included improving security cooperation. the japanese in the south korean defense ministries,
