Another North Korean Missile Test Failure

CNN: North Korea launches missile; test fails

(CNN)North Korea fired a mid-range "Musudan" missile but it "seems to have failed," a South Korean Defense Ministry official says.

The missile was fired around 6:10 a.m. local time on Thursday (5.40 p.m. Wednesday ET).

The military cannot confirm exactly when the missile exploded, but that it "crashed shortly after it was launched," the official said.

The official, who was unnamed, added that further details were unavailable but that the military is in the process of investigating. It is the second ground-based Musudan launch that has failed in the last two weeks.

The previous attempt, which took place on the birthday of North Korea's founder, Kim Il Sung, was tracked by the U.S. but there was "no evidence the missile reached flight," a U.S. official told CNN's Barbara Starr.
