North Korea has conducted a failed missile test today in defiance of increased US warnings that there would be serious consequences for such provocative actions, including a possible military response.
According to the U.S. Pacific Command, a North Korean missile blew up almost immediately as it was launched near the country’s submarine base in Sinpo in South Hamgyong Province on the east coast of the country.
Today’s attempted missile launch was reportedly not an intercontinental ballistic missile that Trump warned would not be allowed to happen. The failed test occurred as a U.S. naval strike force moves into the region in a show of force.
