North Korea fires a suspected ballistic missile in a signal that Pyongyang isn’t interested in rejoining denuclearisation talks anytime soon
United Nations Security Council resolutions ban all ballistic missile and nuclear tests by North Korea, and have imposed sanctions over the programmes.
The South Korean military said on Wednesday the North fired what is "presumed to be a ballistic missile" towards the sea east of the peninsula at around 2310 GMT on Tuesday. "We are continuing analysis, but if it took a normal orbit, it is expected to have travelled about 500 kilometres and fallen outside Japan’s exclusive economic zone."In the decade since Kim Jong-un took power, North Korea has seen rapid progress in its military technology at the cost of international sanctions.
The launch followed a speech by Kim last week in which he said North Korea would continue to build up its military capabilities.
