North Korea confirms it has carried out its first underwater-launched ballistic missile test in three years, in apparent bid to dial up pressure on the U.S. ahead of resumption of nuclear diplomacy.
North Korea confirmed Thursday it has carried out its first underwater-launched ballistic missile test in three years, in an apparent bid to dial up pressure on the United States ahead of a weekend resumption of their nuclear diplomacy.
It didn’t say which outside forces threaten its security. But North Korea has previously said it was forced to develop nuclear-armed missiles to cope with U.S. military threats. South Korea’s Defense Ministry said the North Korean missile traveled about 450 kilometers at a maximum altitude of 910 kilometers . Ministry officials said the missile flew higher than any other short-range weapons North Korea test-fired in recent months.
North Korean and U.S. officials are to meet on Saturday to restart diplomacy on how to end the North Korean nuclear crisis. That diplomacy largely remains stalemated after the February breakdown of a second summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Vietnam.
