North Korean state TV footage shows missile launch over Japan

North Korea's television released footage on Wednesday of the rocket which passed over Japanese airspace being launched on Tuesday from the capital Pyongyang. Tensions in the Korean Peninsula have been running high after repeated missile test, despite resounding international pressure to stop. The missile in question travelled over 2,700km (1,650mi) at an unusually low height before ditching into the North Pacific having passed over the Japanese island of Hokkaido, which forced people to scramble for cover.
