Sankei, Yomiuri, TBS, and Yahoo covered the event from early morning, noting the missile fell outside Japan's EEZ but within a notified zone. The test overshadowed other stories, including a fatal stabbing in Hamamatsu where the suspect died after being hit by a train, and a woman arrested in Ibaraki for sewing a housemate's lips shut.
