North Korea Test Fires New Medium Range Missiles-Threatens The U.S

North Korea on Sunday morning launched a
new medium range ballistic missile into the
Sea of Japan amid U.S president Donald
Trump's first international trip to Saudi
Arabia.



The missile, is their second missile test in
the space of seven days after launching
their most successful missile test last week.



The missile flew about 500km and it is
believed to have landed in waters off South
Korea's east coast, South Korea's military
said.


New South Korean President Moon
Jae-in, reacting to the missile launch, held a
National Security Council meeting- this is
the second launch test North Korea has had
in Moon's short time as president, while the
White House said the missile had "a shorter
range than the missiles launched in North
Korea's three most recent tests".


In a statement, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of
Staff said they were at "full military
readiness" and were "closely monitoring
signs for additional provocation by the
North Korean military".



On Sunday, North
Korean state newspaper Minju Joson
threatened more missile launches against
the United States.


Minju Joson said: "If the US persists in
confrontation with the DPRK (North Korea),
the latter will show how the crime-woven
history of the US is put to an end.

"Many
more weapons capable of striking the US
will be launched from this land.
