US reports new North Korean rocket launch, amid rising tensions
[IsraelTimes] Latest test comes while UN Security Council meets over Wednesday’s missile launches, after Pyongyang angered by US-South Korea military drill.
US officials said Thursday that North Korea appears to have carried out yet another launch of an as-yet unidentified projectile, ratcheting up tensions on the Korean Peninsula a day after two missile launches and ahead of US-South Korean military drills that have angered Pyongyang.
Citing two unnamed US officials, Reuters reported on Thursday evening that Washington does not view the latest launch as a threat to the US mainland from the nuclear-armed pariah state, but that details about the launch are still unclear, including the number of projectiles involved.
South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reports also reported the launch of an unidentified short-range projectile.
North Korea said Thursday its leader Kim Jong Un supervised the first test firing of a new multiple rocket launcher system that could potentially enhance its ability to strike targets in South Korea and US military bases there.
The report by the official Korean Central News Agency differed from the assessment by South Korea’s military, which had concluded Wednesday’s launches were of two short-range ballistic missiles.
Under UN sanctions, North Korea is barred from using ballistic missiles.
