North Korea test-fires ballistic missile

Written by Teunis Felter

North Korea fired a ballistic missile Sunday, South Korean and the US officials said, in the first such test by Pyongyang since US President Donald Trump took office. The missile, which sources said landed in the Sea of Japan, was fired as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited President Trump in the United States. North Korea is prohibited from carrying out ballistic missile launches under UN Security Council resolutions aimed in part at curbing the country’s development of nuclear weapons.
