North Korea tests ballistic missile again

North Korea has once again fired an apparent ballistic missile off its east coast that landed in the waters of Japan’s economic zone.
South Korean and Japanese officials said that the launch came from around the eastern North Korean coastal town of Wonsan.

There was no immediate comment from North Korea’s state controlled media. But the launch followed a report from the North that said leader Kim Jong Un had watched a successful test of a new type of anti-aircraft guided weapon system.

After the test, Kim said the weapon system’s ability to detect and track targets had “remarkably” improved and its accuracy also increased.
