Tokyo, Dhu-AlQa'dah 21, 1437, August 24, 2016, SPA -- A fresh North Korean missile test prompted outrage from the foreign ministers of Japan, China and South Korea Wednesday, dpa reported. Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and South Korea's Yun Byung Se reacted to the test by agreeing to promote cooperation in dealing with North Korea. They also urged Pyongyang to show restraint and forgo any further provocative acts. The meeting was held hours after North Korea test-fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile, which fell into Japan's Defence Identification Zone in the Sea of Japan. It was the first time a North Korean missile had struck that body of water, prompting Tokyo to lodge a strong protest with Pyongyang, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters in the morning. --SPA 13:02 LOCAL TIME 10:02 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
