North Korea Fires Ballistic Missile Into Sea of Japan in Latest Test


North Korea on Wednesday again fired a ballistic missile into the Sea of Japan, South Korean and U.S. military officials said, in a provocation that comes amid annual joint U.S.-South Korean military drills.

The single ballistic missile launched at around 6:42 a.m. Seoul time (5:42 p.m. Tuesday ET) from the area of the port city of Sinpo traveled about 60 kilometers, or just over 37 miles, before crashing into the sea, a South Korean military officer said.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had a terse response.

"North Korea launched yet another intermediate range ballistic missile. The United States has spoken enough about North Korea," Tillerson said. "We have no further comment."

Tillerson last month said two decades of diplomatic efforts to rein in North Korea have failed, and said military action is "on the table" if the country's weapons program poses a threat.

"The policy of strategic patience has ended," Tillerson said on March 17.

The launch also comes ahead of a planned meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump in Florida this week, in which Pyongyang's weapons program is sure to come up. The U.S. military said the missile appeared to be an intermediate range ballistic missile.
