Japanese government sources as saying.
North Korea appears to be preparing to test-fire its longest range missile
Outgoing Defence Minister Yasuo Ichikawa initially said he was "aware" the missile tests had taken place, leaving his bureaucrats scrambling when he later said only that he had intended to convey he was aware of reports of the test.
The ministry said it was analysing intelligence and had put defence bodies on alert against provocative acts from the unpredictable regime, the Sankei reported.
In Seoul, the South Korean defence ministry and Joint Chiefs of Staff declined to confirm the report.
North Korea reportedly test-fired two short-range missiles off its east coast on December 19, the same day it announced the death of leader Kim Jong-il.
