North Korea fires at least one ‘unidentified ballistic missile’: Seoul

North Korea has fired at least one "unidentified ballistic missile", Seoul's military said Friday, hours after leader Kim Jong Un's powerful sister denied widespread allegations that Pyongyang is shipping weapons to Russia.

Japanese broadcaster NHK, citing government sources, said the missile “appeared to be short range and has already fallen”. North Korea is barred by rafts of UN sanctions from any tests using ballistic technology, but its key ally Russia used its UN Security Council veto in March to effectively end UN monitoring of violations, for which Pyongyang has specifically thanked Moscow.

Analysts say the nuclear-armed North could be ramping up production and testing of artillery and cruise missiles before sending them to Russia for use in Ukraine. Inter-Korean relations are at one of their lowest points in years, with Pyongyang declaring South Korea its “principal enemy”.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
