Kim Jong Un's North Korea fires ballistic missile 'from submarine' and will be ready to test a nuclear bomb this month, US officials sayBy KATIE FEEHAN FOR MAILONLINE and ASSOCIATED PRESS

North Korea has continued its provocative weapons testing as it fired a ballistic missile most likely from a submarine earlier today, South Korea has said.
Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the launch took place in waters near the eastern port city of Sinpo, where North Korea has a major shipyard building submarines.
If confirmed, this would be just the latest in a series of missile tests by Pyongyang as US officials have warned Kim Jong Un is gearing up to test a nuclear weapon this month.
If the test goes ahead, it would be North Korea's first nuclear test in five years as the country continues to exploit the favourable environment while the UN Security Council is preoccupied with the war in Ukraine.
