N.Korea Fired Possible Ballistic Missile Amid Deadlocked Nuclear Talks
Voice of America
SEOUL - North Korea fired an unidentified projectile from its east coast, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said on Wednesday, days after testing a long-range cruise missile.
Japan's Coast Guard also said an object that could be a ballistic missile was fired from North Korea.
Both the South Korean military and Japanese Coast Guard gave no details.
The launch came after North Korea said it successfully tested a new long-range cruise missile last weekend, calling it "a strategic weapon of great significance." Analysts say the missile could be the country's first such weapon with a nuclear capability.
