Japan's Defense Ministry also confirmed the missile launch. Japan's chief Cabinet Secretary, Yoshihide Suga, said the missile landed in the exclusive economic zone of Japan between Sado and Oki islands. 

A 31-year-old e-rickshaw driver was bludgeoned to death for preventing two men from urinating in public in northwest Delhi’s Mukherjee Nagar area.
