Looks like Japan sent a second alert about a potential North Korean ballistic missile, nothing from SKorea at the moment

Per Japan, this also landed outside their EEZ. A second short-range launch.. pretty much guarantees these were SRBMs. North Korea tends to launch them in pairs.

I'm not sure if this is one the two 'missiles' launched yesterday mentioned above, or a separate launch of a recon sat test.

The test was conducted at the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground on Sunday mainly to "evaluate the capabilities of satellite photography and data transmission system and ground control system," according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
The country fired a vehicle carrying a "test-piece satellite" at a lofted angle to an altitude of 500 kilometers, an unnamed spokesperson at the National Aerospace Development Administration said in a statement carried by the KCNA.
North Korea will "finish the preparations for the first military reconnaissance satellite by April, 2023," the official said, adding the results of the test were immediately reported to the central military committee of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea.

By cleared the airspace do they mean shot down?

The ROK scrambled helicopters and jets in response, with one of the jets crashing while en route.

This is an embarrassment for ROK. Twice now they scrambled and twice something had gone wrong.
