North Korea missile test fails
    2017-March-23  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    A NORTH KOREAN missile appeared to have exploded yesterday just after it was launched, the U.S. and South Korean militaries said after detecting the latest in a series of weapons tests by the state that have alarmed the region.

    The launch attempt was made from near the city of Wonsan, on North Korea’s east coast, the same place from where it launched several intermediate-range missiles last year, all but one of which failed.

    “U.S. Pacific Command detected what we assess was a failed North Korean missile launch attempt ... in the vicinity of Kalma,” Commander Dave Benham, a spokesman for U.S. Pacific Command, said in a statement, referring to an air field in Wonsan.

    “A missile appears to have exploded within seconds of launch,” Benham said, adding that work was being carried out on a more detailed assessment.

    A South Korean military official said the missile appeared to have exploded just after it was launched. “It may have exploded right after it took off from a launch pad,” said the military official, who declined to be identified.

    The South Korean defence ministry said it was conducting analysis to determine further details.(SD-Agencies)
