US accuses North Korea of missile test
North Korea ‘fired’ medium range missile towards Japan

A CHORUS of condemnation met an apparent nuclear missile test by North Korea yesterday — though Pyongyang did not report any test.

The US Strategic Command said it detected and tracked the launch of a missile from North Korea in the early hours of yesterday morning.

It said the object travelled about 300 miles before landing in the Sea of Japan, assessing the launch as “a medium- or intermediate-range ballistic missile” that posed no threat to the US.
