'Our current analysis indicates that the ballistic missile flew for 71 minutes and around 15:44 (0644 GMT), it landed in waters within Japan's exclusive economic zone in the Sea of Japan about 150 kilometers west of Hokkaido's Oshima peninsula,' said Makoto Oniki, Japan's state minister for defense.
