Tokyo, July 01: (Kyodo) North Korea has issued navigation bans for 10 coastal sites along the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea citing military exercises, the Japan Coast Guard on Wednesday said.
The latest move covers seven sites located off the Sea of Japan coast and three sites in waters off the Yellow Sea, the coast guard said, adding that it was informed of the bans by the North Korean government via e-mail.
The new bans indicate that North Korea is preparing for newer missile launches, official sources stated.
Pyongyang test-fired a long range missile on April 5 and conducted its second nuclear test as well as launching three short-range missiles on May 25, after issuing similar navigation bans. (Kyodo)
