CBSN
North Korea's latest weapons launch on Wednesday apparently ended in failure, South Korea' military said, amid speculation that the North could soon launch its biggest long-range missile in its most significant provocation in years.
It wasn't immediately clear what North Korea launched on Wednesday morning or at what stage it had an apparent failure. But the launch, the 10th of its kind this year, shows North Korea is determined to press ahead on its push to modernize its weapons arsenal and pressure its rivals into making concessions amid dormant denuclearization talks.
South Korean and U.S. intelligence authorities were analyzing details of the launch made from the Pyongyang region around 9:30 a.m. that apparently failed, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that didn't have further details.
