North Korea has conducted another missile test, South
Korea’s military has said.
South Korea’s Office of Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a terse
statement to media houses, noted that the projectile was launched toward the
country on Sunday.
It stated that intelligence confirmed that the test was
conducted from Pukchang, in the west of North Korea.
The test comes a week after North Korea tested another
missile, described as a new type of rocket capable of carrying a large nuclear
warhead.
Last Monday, the UN Security Council again demanded that
Pyongyang conduct no further such tests and to “immediately show sincere
commitment to denuclearization through concrete action”.
North Korea has conducted five nuclear tests and missiles
capable of delivering weapons to their target.
