Russia is investigating whether a North Korean intercontinental ballistic missile crashed in its waters during a test launch on Wednesday, state media quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko as saying. | Reuters
RIA and TASS news agencies quoted Rudenko as saying that Russia’s defense ministry was investigating, but “so far we have no clear information that the missile fell in Russia’s economic zone”.The Hwasong-18 missile is the core of North Korea’s nuclear strike force and the test-fire was a “strong practical warning” to the United States and other adversaries, the country’s state media said in reporting the launch.
The test was condemned by the United States, South Korea and Japan, but Russia’s Rudenko said it was a reaction to actions by Washington and its allies which “actually provoke North Korea to build up its defense power”.
