SEOUL, (MILLAT/APP/AFP) – A new North Korean
missile test failed on Wednesday, the South’s defence ministry said, two weeks after Pyongyang launched four rockets in what it called a drill for an attack on US bases in Japan.
“South Korea and the United States are aware of the North Korean
missile launch,” said a spokesman for Seoul’s defence ministry, adding they “suspect it was a failure”.
The ministry did not identify the type of missile used in the test.
Japanese Kyodo news service, citing an unidentified government
source, said the North might have launched several missiles Wednesday morning.
