The missile just launched from North Korea has had a run of about 3.700 kilometers and is likely sunk in the Pacific North. It was said by Seoul's military sources at Yonhap. The missile flew to a height of 770 miles. South Korean maneuvers were going on in the Japan Sea for several hours, it was also specified.
Summoned tomorrow at 15.00 in New York, an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council after the new Pyongyang provocation. On Monday the Security Council unanimously adopted new stringent sanctions against North Korea, imposing a roof on oil imports and banning textile exports from Pyongyang.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, was immediately updated on the new missile launch made by North Korea by the head of the White House cabinet, John Kelly. White House spokesman Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed this.
The ballistic missile launched tonight (at the local 6,57 local time) from North Korea from the Sunan area fell to 2.000 km east to head Arakura on the Japanese island of Hokkaido. The Nhk state TV reports that the missile has penetrated into the Japanese airspace at the local 7,04, to get out after 2 minutes and plunge into the sea at 7,16. In total, the carrier has therefore traveled at least 3.500 km. But already on August 29 Pyongyang had launched another mid-range missile, a Hwasong-12, who fell even that time off the island of Hokkaido, even though in that case had only 2.700 km and had fallen to 1.180 km from the coasts Japanese and not 2.000 like this one. South Korean agency Yonhap quoting South Korean military chiefs believes it might have been the well-known Hwasong - 12, an intermediate-range ballistic missile (Irbm) and not an Icbm, intercontinental, like the two Hwasong-14 launches 4 and 28 July and able to reach all over Europe and the USA. Right now, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un had threatened to "sink Japan" using its nuclear arsenal. That tonight is the fifteenth North Korean missile test since the beginning of the year and follows 12 days the explosion of the first H bomb, Pyongyang's Hydrogen, Sunday, September 3.
