Pyongyang test-fires ‘unidentified projectile’ – Seoul

North Korea has ramped up its testing activity in the recent months with what it claimed to be “hypersonic” missiles launches

Pyongyang has carried another suspected missile launch, the South Korean military reported. The reclusive nation has stepped up its missile activity, already firing two “hypersonic” missiles in as many months.

The alleged North Korean “projectile” was launched towards the Sea of Japan, the South Korean military reported on Monday morning, without providing any details as to its type or range.

The reported missile test comes several days after Pyongyang claimed to have staged a drill involving two railway- born guided missiles that obliterated their intended targets in the Sea of Japan.
