North Korea fires 'unidentified projectile' but launch fails, says South
North Korea has fired an "unknown projectile" which appeared to fail immediately after launch, South Korea's military said.The airfield has been the site of several launches, including previous tests of what were the US alleges were intercontinental ballistic missiles ."North Korea fired an unknown projectile from the Sunan area around 09:30 today, but it is presumed that it failed immediately after launch," Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.
Speaking to NK News, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Ankit Panda said this image was consistent with that of a "catastrophic failure". He added that "reddish-orange smoke" is associated with liquid fuel - something that is "very toxic" to humans. With a minimum range of 5,500km , ICBMs can reach the US. They are designed for nuclear arms delivery.The UN prohibits North Korea from ballistic and nuclear weapons tests, and has imposed strict sanctions.
Pyongyang has however, maintained that the launches on 26 February and 4 March were focused on developing a reconnaissance satellite.
