The Japanese government said Wednesday that no debris fell into Japan's territory after a rocket launch by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

The Japanese government said it will convene Security Council at 10:50 local time on the rocket launch.

It said earlier that the DPRK launched a rocket at 9:49 a.m. and the rocket has passed Japan's Okinawa at around 10:01 local time.

The rocket is believed to have gone down into waters off the Philippines at 10:05 a.m. and part of the rocket have fallen into Yellow Sea, it said.

The South Korean news agency Yonhap reported the first stage of the rocket fell in the Yellow Sea off Byeonsan-bando in its North Jeolla Province.

Japan's Self-Defense Forces in Okinawa did not launch their missile interceptors.
