In early Sunday, North Korea launched a ballistic missile from the north-western part of the country, said the chief of staff of the South Korean troops. This is reported LIGABusinessInform with reference to the CNN channel.
This is the first provocative step from North Korea, as last week the president of South Korea, Mun Zhe-in. He stands for dialogue with North Korea on denuclearization.
The United States calculated that the missile landed in the water 60 miles south of Russian Vladivostok (about 100 km, - Ed), the official representative of the United States.
The Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy is based in Vladivostok.
South Korea reported on the next launch of the missile in North Korea.
In late April, the DPRK conducted another unsuccessful test of a ballistic missile. As reported by the South Korean military, the missile was launched from a proving ground in the province of Pyongan-Namdo, which borders Pyongyang, and soon exploded. Tests of the North Korean missile on April 16 also ended in failure.
