“We have concluded that this event (missile launch -

.) does not pose an immediate threat to the population and territory of the United States, as well as our allies,” the Indo-Pacific Command website said in a statement.

At the same time, it is noted that the launch of missiles indicates the destabilizing influence of "North Korea's illegal programs" to create weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs. 

The United States is committed to its defense obligations to South Korea and Japan, the Pentagon stressed.

On September 8, NHK reported that the DPRK launched two, presumably, ballistic missiles at once, towards the Sea of ​​Japan.

They fell outside Japan's exclusive economic zone.
