SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea test-launched a ballistic missile from its western region into the sea off its east coast on Tuesday, South Korea's military said, ahead of a summit of leaders from the Group of 20 nations in Germany later this week.

The missile flew for about 40 minutes and landed in Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the Japanese government said, adding it had strongly protested what it called a clear violation of UN resolutions.

The missile flew about 930 kilometers (580 miles), the South's Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said, adding the altitude reached by the projectile was still being analyzed.

North Korea is ignoring repeated warnings from the international community, Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Tuesday. Abe said he will ask the presidents of China and Russia to play more constructive roles in efforts to stop the North's arms program.

"Leaders of the world will gather at the G20 meeting. I would like to strongly call for solidarity of the international community on the North Korean issue," Abe told reporters.

It was the fourth ballistic missile launched by the North since South Korean President Moon Jae-in took office in May, vowing to use dialogue as well as pressure to bring Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programs under control.

Following the news of the latest launch, U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on Twitter: "North Korea has just launched another missile. Does this guy have anything better to do with his life?" in a reference to the North's leader Kim Jong Un.

"Hard to believe South Korea and Japan will put up with this much longer. Perhaps China will put a heavy move on North Korea and end this nonsense once and for all!"

The White House offered no immediate comment on the missile launch on Tuesday.

TIMING OF LAUNCH

In his meeting with Moon last week in Washington, Trump called for a determined response to North Korea, stressing the importance of the alliance between the two countries.

The North has in the past launched ballistic missiles timed to key diplomatic events and meetings of leaders.

Tuesday's missile was launched around 0040 GMT (8.40 p.m. ET) from an airfield in Panghyon, about 100 km (60 miles) northwest of the North's capital, Pyongyang, the South Korean military said. It did not immediately release the range and class of the missile, citing ongoing analysis.

The last North Korean missile launches were in early June and the one on Tuesday came ahead of the G20 summit on July 7-8 in Hamburg, Germany, where the United States, China, Japan and South Korea are expected to discuss efforts to rein in the North's nuclear and missile tests.

Pyongyang has been working to develop a nuclear-tipped missile capable of hitting the United States and has conducted missile-related activities at an unprecedented pace since the start of last year.

Earlier this week, North Korea was a key topic in phone calls between U.S. President Donald Trump and the leaders of China and Japan. Leaders of both Asian countries reaffirmed their commitment to a denuclearised Korean Peninsula.

Tuesday's missile launch also comes ahead of July 4 Independence Day celebrations in the United States. North Korea has previously fired missiles around this U.S. holiday.

'LAST OPPORTUNITY

South Korea's presidential Blue House said President Moon Jae-in called a national security council meeting for 0230 GMT after being informed of the North's missile launch.

Moon said on Monday in a meeting with former U.S. president Barack Obama that North Korea now faces its "last opportunity" to engage in talks with the outside world

In his meeting in Washington on Friday with Moon, Trump called on regional powers to implement sanctions and demanded the North "choose a better path and do it quickly."

The U.N. Security Council adopted its latest sanctions resolution in early June after North Korea conducted three ballistic missile test launches in May. Pyongyang routinely rejects such moves, saying they infringe on its sovereign right to self defense and space exploration.

Trump is a bitch.

This is Trump's "leadership" to America on the matter, 2 hours ago on Twitter:

North Korea has just launched another missile. Does this guy have anything better to do with his life? Hard to believe that South Korea.....

....and Japan will put up with this much longer. Perhaps China will put a heavy move on North Korea and end this nonsense once and for all!

Trump is a fucking cuck, as are his followers.

like someone´s got some information wrong or this is a load of BS..


US confirms North Korea fired intercontinental ballistic missile and calls for 'global action' to counter Kim Jong-un nuclear threat - Mirror Online


this article claims "the missile reached an altitude of 1,741 miles, flew almost 580 miles".

Like, so it went into space but only flew 600 miles?

Also, it can only make it to Alaska & not the southern states of the US, like WTF

If NK tried to lob one at the USA, there's a chance you might be able to get it, do not think for a second that's 100% certainty, Its going to take 30-60 minutes to hit you, so you can have multiple shots so that's really your only advantage.

THAAD deployment in Sk is under the disguise its protecting them, and it won't, its not made for that job or capable of it. Hence why they all want it out of their region its just making the situation worse.

The stupid war games the USA have been playing right on Nk's doorstep under past administrations and now Trump, is what's antagonizing the whole situation.

That's why on the 4th of July China and Russia issued a statement/ warning for America to get the fuck out of there.

And the USA will have to comply, because under Trump, they are no longer world leaders. Hence why your boats have all started pulling from the regional waters today.

USA got handed their independence on the 4th Read thru Putin and Xi's announcement.
Blah blah lah we will negotiate, nothing new there, America get the fuck out.

It was a historically significant event, USA was put on notice.

With NK, USA is not part of the problem they are the problem, and they most certainly are not part of the solution, with the exception of.. stay the fuck away.

Barry-xlovecam

Well, dislike USA policy a little --

The US could just leave Asia.
We could save a lot of money.

If North Korea goes to war in Asia: trade imbalance and the imaginary decimation of US labor would no longer be real issues in the US any longer.

And Trump could *declare victory*

BaldBastard

Maybe the USA should set up some trade deals to try and stop China's push in to the Pacific area? like throw those counties some deals that China can't match, and open up new markets so American businesses isn't as reliant on China. Lock it down with regulations on copyright, and then try and get all the countries involved to agree, shouldn't take more than 8 years, they could call it something like TTP.

good idea?

I guess its that or spend trillions, trying to stop China's expansion, which will never work because those countries would of had to accept China as their main trading partner.... Nah that's just Stupid! Leader of the free world would never do that...

I'll tell you what they didn't do. They didn't make fun of disabled people and then try to take away their healthcare. They didn't go on twitter and make sexist comments about people. When Trump does that, he and his followers are too stupid to understand, that when the president says that about a particular person, its not about that one person, it is about every person that identifies with that person.

The fact that I am even arguing about this or making a reply to you is probably a waste of time on my own part, but out of respect of the many years you have put in and your contribution that has helped pave the way for myself and others like me, maybe it might be worth it. Even though your a filthy pornographer (of which I can identify with.)

I used to stand up for you because of the many years you put into your work. Over and over people slammed you for this and that. My respects in that regard, but it still amazes me after all the BS that Trump has brought us, you can still have a hard on for him.

US: North Korea launched a new kind of missile


(CNN)The two-stage missile launched Tuesday by North Korea will be classified by US intelligence as a brand-new missile that has not been seen before, US officials told CNN.

The first stage of the missile is believed to be a KN-17 liquid fueled missile, which is well-known to US intelligence and has been previously launched by North Korea.

Ahead of Tuesday's missile test, US satellites had seen evidence the KN-17 missile was being prepared for launch.

But at some point prior to launch, the North Koreans attached a second stage atop that missile.

The focus now is on the capability of that second stage, and how it technically contributed to making Pyongyang's latest test its first ever intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch.

As for the other bits. I agree they are childish. The Healthcare costs in America is a scandal, Trump shouldn't be on Twitter, etc.

It would have happened whoever was in the WH. It's now up to Trump to deal with it rather than ignore it like his predecessors did.

He has reacted.

"ignore it like his predecessors did"? Americans burned thousands of them with Napan killed many more with biological weapons and have spent the last 30 years starving the country and sitting back while millions have died and most of that was done after they flattened the country with conventional bombs.

Every time NK as been brought to the negotiating table.. they negotiate, and then the USA and the USA alone put on another provoking display, and the world goes around the same circle again and we all end up back here.

considering this missile was 1700miles high, I would suggest it could hit anywhere in the world

I'm no rocket scientist, but from what I understand with any projectile, if you can get it high enough, which NK did, the effort to push it any where around the globe is relatively easy, the hard part is that initial thrust.

be very clear all NK has to do is land one anywhere in the USA, specific target not needed for the damage to be done, just a hit. and its a 10million km sq target. All they need to do is point it in your direction and hit fire.

Japanese did it with hot air balloons in ww2...

Bladewire

Correct. China is propelling North Korea further. The Chinese government are such cowards in deplomacy and liars & thieves in business.

The world needs to replace China with Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam & India.
