US and South Korea claims Attempted Missile Launch by North Korea was a Failure

The United States of America and South Korea have revealed to CNN that an attempted missile launch by North Korea on Sunday has failed. The attempted launch occurred a day after the regime of Kim Jong Un showed off a bevy of new missiles and launchers at a large-scale military parade on its most important holiday. A South Korean defense official said the action took place in Sinpo, a port city in eastern North Korea. That was the site of a ballistic missile test earlier this month in which the projectile fell into the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea. The North Koreans use Sinpo shipyard for their submarine activity, and US satellites have observed increased activity there in April, a US official said at the time of the previous test. South Korean and US intelligence officials are trying to determine what type of missile was used Sunday, but initial reports said it could be a medium-range missile, according to a White House foreign policy adviser.

The President and his military team are aware of North Korea’s most recent unsuccessful missile launch. The President has no further comment.
