BREAKING: DUD NORTH KOREAN MISSILE WAS AIMED AT HAWAII

...according to Japanese and US sources, as reported on FoxNews five minutes ago.

(Incidentally, Clint W. Taylor of the NailYale blog is on Hannity & Colmes right now.)

More: So far, this is only reported in a "conservative" Japanese newspaper, relying on unnamed Japanese and American sources.

Supposedly analysts determined the missile's trajectory based on the direction and altitude of the missile... though, as the missile failed shortly into launch, it's hard to know how much stock to put into that "altitude" part.

Some (according to the commenters) say the missile is "merely" alleged to have been aimed at the waters near Hawaii.

Which isn't much more comforting. If true, that's still an act of war.

Again, though, only a single Japanese newspaper is reporting this.

Update: A print report linked by Drudge, which doesn't say much more than we already know.
