New York Times: North Korea Fires Missile Into Sea, South Korea Says
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea flouted United Nations resolutions on Friday by firing what appeared to be a medium-range ballistic missile into the sea between the Korean Peninsula and Japan, the South Korean military said.
The projectile, believed to be a Rodong missile, took off from Sukchon, north of Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, and flew across the peninsula before crashing into the sea off the North’s east coast. The missile flew about 800 kilometers, or 500 miles, the South Korean military said in a statement.
The missile appeared to have been fired from a mobile launcher, South Korean military officials said. The Rodong missile has a range that covers all of South Korea and much of Japan.
