Former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has publicly voiced his protest against North Korea following their latest missile launch. The details of this specific missile's capabilities or its intended target have not been disclosed yet. While it's not uncommon for North Korea to conduct such tests, Koizumi's vocal objections are testament to the growing concerns in Japan about the regional security risks these missile tests present.

North Korea's missile tests and nuclear program have been longstanding security concerns for Japan. Japanese citizens and politicians alike generally view these activities with severe disapproval and trepidation. As such, former PM Koizumi's public protest is likely to be well-received and echoed by many in the country.

In the US and EU, there's similarly widespread opposition to North Korea's missile tests. They've been met with sanctions and international condemnation as these actions are viewed as a direct threat to international peace and security.
