South Korean and US military experts were analysing details of the missile, which was fired at around 9am on Saturday, Yonhap new agency said, citing South Korean joint chiefs of staff.

The North fired several short-range projectiles which flew between 70km and 200km, the report said.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

North Korea launches 'unidentified' projectile

Seoul, South Korea (CNN) — North Korea has fired at least one unidentified projectile, South Korea's military said Thursday, adding yet another complication into the stalled negotiations with the United States and peace talks with South Korea.

The launch took place at 4:30 p.m., in the Sino-ri area in the country's western Pyongbuk province, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

Sino-ri is believed to be home to one of about 20 undeclared missile facilities that Pyongyang operates throughout the country, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Beyond Parallel program.

But, purely coincidental.   :whistle:
 
North Korea fires 2 short-range missiles, 5 days after previous launch; US tests long-range missile within 10 minutes

NK is testing the boundaries but these are still NOT "long range" missiles and apparently, that is what is forbidden so far.  These are "short range". So find something else to gripe about Trump.

I can find other things to gripe about, this trillion dollar infrastructure bill doesn't sound right. I heard that's coming down the pipe.

They’ve been working at Sohae, since March, so don’t be surprised, if they put another satellite up, soon. If you don’t think that has anything to do with long range missile testing, go back and research the sale of Loral technology to China, under Clinton.

#BREAKING North Korea's Kim ordered "long-range strike" drill, according to state media

NK is indeed calling it as above.

BEIJING (Kyodo) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervised a strike drill of "various long-range strike means" on Thursday, state-run media reported Friday, a day after South Korea said Pyongyang fired what appeared to be two short-range missiles.
