In its latest attempt to remind the world that it exists and should be taken seriously, North Korea has just launched an intermediate-range Musudan missile. Unfortunately for the Hermit Kingdom — and fortunately for everyone else on Earth — the missile test ended in failure. “The missile blew up five seconds after launch,” a U.S. official told Fox News, echoing a similar assessment made by South Korea’s Defense Ministry.
The attempted launch was carried out on March 22 at an air base on North Korea’s east coast along the Sea of Japan during ongoing U.S.-South Korean military drills, which are conducted in South Korea every year. Always, without fail, these exercises trigger threatening responses from the North Koreans, who view the drills as a rehearsal for an invasion. Earlier this month, North Korea broke international law by firing four ballistic missiles that landed in waters off Japan.
