Looks like it failed upon exiting the Yellow Sea area, right about where it would make sense to intercept it if you were a Japanese AEGIS destroyer captain.

I’m seeing two conflicting reports:
A reported failure at T+90 seconds (first stage failure and possible shoot down intercept)
A reported impact 130 km S of Phillipines (second stage failure)

Aegis cannot do a BMD intercept within the atmopshere.
Rest assured this wasn't shot down.

That would be a belligerent act. Let’s not go creating facts on the ground (fait accompli) here.
