Thread: North Korea fires missile from Pyongyang toward the east: South Korea

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea fired an unidentified missile early on Friday from the Sunan district in its capital, Pyongyang, toward the eastern direction, South Korea’s military said.


The South Korean and U.S. militaries are analyzing details of the launch, the South’s Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

North Korea Launched Missile Over Japan Into Pacific Ocean


North Korea fired another missile over Japan on Friday morning, a fresh provocation that comes shortly after the United Nations approved harsher sanctions against Kim Jong Un’s regime.

Japan didn’t attempt to shoot down the unidentified missile, which was launched at 6:57 a.m. and flew over the northern island of Hokkaido before landing 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) away in the Pacific Ocean, according to Japanese broadcaster NHK.


Yoshihide Suga, Japan’s government spokesman, told reporters that the situation was similar to that when a missile was fired over Japan on Aug. 29, NHK reported. North Korea had called that test a “meaningful prelude” to a threatened launch into waters near the American territory of Guam.

North Korea conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test on Sept. 3, and has launched more than a dozen missiles this year as Kim seeks the capability to hit the continental U.S. with an atomic weapon. President Donald Trump has said all options -- including military -- are on the table to stop North Korea from threatening the U.S.

In July, North Korea fired two ICBMs on steep trajectories into the sea between the Korean peninsula and Japan. The regime said those launches put the entire U.S. in its range.

On Monday, the UN Security Council approved new sanctions after the U.S. dropped key demands such as an oil embargo to win support from Russia and China, both of which can veto any proposals. The resolution seeks to limit oil imports, ban textile exports and increase inspections of ships suspected of carrying cargo in breach of sanctions.

North Korea’s first nuclear test since Trump took office was a “perfect success” and confirmed the precision and technology of the bomb, according to the Korean Central News Agency. Kim claimed that his regime could mount a hydrogen bomb onto an ICBM.

While North Korea’s ICBM threat is growing, the U.S. military says it’s not yet imminent. Kim’s regime has yet to demonstrate that it can accurately guide a long-range missile to a target with a nuclear warhead that survives the trip, General Paul Selva, the No. 2 U.S. military official said in a statement to Bloomberg last month.

I would not worry to much about that chicken shit stuff Richard. If this war kicks off the worlds economy is gunna flounce and if ya survive the Nuclear fallout ya gunna be broke.

That's much worse than being dead.

^ take more than a few dozen nuclear warheads to kill me mate... bring it on fatboy!

^man up, Dicky. Welcome to the real world. In PI, we get floods, typhoons & earthquakes on a weekly basis. So the 1st three are just pfft.

As for missiles, not at the moment - unless China decides to attack or NK missiles go south.

**just kidding. Keep safe!

Keep safe, indeed...555...

Put up yer missile net when you go to sleep...

We have natural disasters destroying people's lives, we have supposedly the most powerful man in the world running around like a chicken with his head cut off and now we have this dumpy little asian with his finger on the nuclear trigger. Not to mention ethnic cleansing, families being displaced and the ongoing battle between religious and ethnic groups with thousands of innocent people dying annually.

Mother nature is the only threatening element that cannot be controlled and I wonder when common sense and sensible rule can sort out the other global problems.

A joint world order committee may be the only solution.

Profound words. Couldn't hurt.

Inquiries for nuclear bunkers and radiation air filters have increased in Japan as North Korea continues to test missiles close to Japanese shores.

ridiculous but of course we are talking about silly Japanese,

hey the new iPhone X is out, they should focus on that instead

We have their collaborator/sponsors China/Russia to thank for this nonsense.

'...sure keep the oil flowing we wouldn't want to disrupt the nuclear ambitions of a raving mad fat bastard'.

If Fatty starts a war it won't last long. The world will just band together and blow his shitty country from the face of the Earth.

Not a real huge deal really, it certainly will not be another Vietnam, world war one or two.
