North Korea fires missile on New Year’s Day

Korea, 1/1: North Korea fired a ballistic missile over the sea to the east of the Korean Peninsula in the early hours of Sunday, the South Korean military said.

The move comes not even 24 hours after North Korea launched three ballistic missiles on Saturday.

 

The short-range ballistic missile was fired around 2:50 am local time (1750 GMT) from around the capital Pyongyang, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

 

The missile flew for about 400 kilometres (249 miles) before landing in the sea, Yonhap news agency said, citing the military.
