North Korea’s latest missile test ends in failure: SeoulBy Mark Lungariello
March 16, 2022
A North Korean missile launch on Wednesday ended in failure, South Korean officials said – but the setback doesn’t mean the North is done flexing its military muscle.
The Wednesday missile launched from the Pyongyang region at about 9:30 a.m. was the 10th of the year so far, and there’s international speculation that the North is gearing up to fire off its biggest long-range missile.
The Hwasong-17 is believed to be able to fly more than 9,300 miles – far enough that it could hit anywhere in the mainland US if fired from the North. The 82-foot weapon hasn’t been tested yet.
Under dictator Kim Jong Un, the North is trying to establish itself as a nuclear power with a modernized arsenal that could make it a global threat.
