North Korean missiles likely landed 200-250 km west of Hokkaido - Japan sources
TOKYO, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Three North Korean missiles launched on Monday likely landed in the sea 200 to 250 km (120-160 miles) west of Hokkaido, Japan's northern-most main island, sources at Japan's defense ministry said.
They were likely to have been either Scud or Rodong-class missiles, the sources said.
South Korea's military said the missiles were medium-range Rodong-class, launched as a show of force to coincide with the G20 summit meeting taking place in China. (Reporting by Nobuhiro Kubo; Editing by Nick Macfie)
