North Korea Conducts Fresh Missile Launch The Second In Six Days

 

The Guardian: North Korea conducts fresh missile launch after Kim Jong-un call to bolster military  

Second launch in less than a week comes amid condemnation at the UN of previous launch of claimed ‘hypersonic’ missile 

North Korea has test-fired a suspected ballistic missile, the second apparent launch in less than a week, in a move designed to increase pressure on the US amid stalled nuclear talks and mounting economic problems for the regime. 

The launch, believed to be that of a ballistic missile, was detected at 7.27am on Tuesday from an inland area of North Korea toward the ocean off its east coast, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a statement. 

The projectile appeared to have landed outside Japan’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ), the Kyodo news agency reported, citing government sources in Tokyo.
