North Korea has fired an unidentified projectile, South Korea’s military said, a week after its latest missile launch.
South
Korea’s Office of Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that the
projectile took off Sunday afternoon from a location near Pukchang.
There was no further information given about the nature of the projectile.
Last
week Pyongyang launched an intermediate-range missile named the
Hwasong-12 its longest-range missile yet, according to analysts.
It
was its 10th launch this year, after dozens in 2016, as it accelerates
efforts to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable
of delivering a nuclear warhead to the continental United States –
something US President Donald Trump has vowed “won’t happen”.
Pyongyang has long had missiles that can reach targets across the South and Japan.
