South Korean military officials reportedly said that the missile was fired near Pyongyang, North Korea's capital, and headed eastward.
Emergency alerts in Japan were issued and an one account claims that it passed over Hokkaido at 7:06 a.m. local time and over to the Pacific Ocean.
Japan did not attempt to shoot down the missile, NHK reported.
A North Korean state agency threatened on Thursday to use nuclear weapons to "sink" Japan and reduce the United States to "ashes and darkness" for supporting a UN Security Council resolution and sanctions over its latest nuclear test, Reuters reported.
