North Korea fired an unidentified projectile on Thursday, according to the South Korean military, less than a week after leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the test-firing of multiple rockets and missiles.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> "We confirm that North Korea has fired an unidentified projectile off towards eastern direction from Sinori area located in Northern Pyongan Province at around 03:30 a.m. ET/16:30 p.m. local time," a South Korean military official told NBC News on Thursday.
Last week, North Korea launched a number of rockets and at least one short range missile from its east coast into the ocean. Thursday's launch would be the third time North Korea has fired a missile since talks collapsed between President Donald Trump and Kim in February. The two leaders met in Hanoi, Vietnam, to discuss the possibility of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula, but the talks ended abruptly without a deal. That summit had followed the historic meeting between Kim and Trump in Singapore last June. North Korea had pledged to cease its nuclear and long-range missile tests back in April 2018.
