This is a developing story and every report is unconfirmed at this point.

North Korea has attempted to fire a missile but the launch was a failure, according to local media.

The South Korean military said it had detected a failed launch but there were no other details immediately available.

What those stupid analyst are calling unsuccessful is just the first stage being tested by the North.

With so many US assets in the area, my guess is the US military conducted cyber/electronic attacks that caused the missile to fail.

also i read recently the US has been allowing faulty imported BM parts, etc into NK...that could also be a reason for this failed launch.

N. Korea fails in new missile test: Seoul

A new North Korean missile test failed on Sunday, the South's defence ministry said.

"North Korea attempted to test an unidentified type of missile from Sinpo area in the South Hamkyong Province this morning, but we suspect the launch has failed," the ministry said in a statement.

The ministry said it was analysing the test for further details.

The failed launch came a day after North Korea showcased nearly 60 missiles -- including what is suspected to be a new intercontinental ballistic missile -- at a giant military parade to mark the 105th birthday of its founder Kim Il-Sung.

Pyongyang's rogue atomic ambitions have come into sharp focus in recent weeks, with United States President Donald Trump vowing a tough stance against the North and threatening unilateral action if China failed to help curb its neighbour's nuclear programme.

As hostilities in the region surge Trump has sent an aircraft carrier-led strike group to the Korean peninsula to press his point, while the North has launched a flurry of rockets.

Pyongyang has so far staged five nuclear tests, two of them last year, and analysis of satellite imagery suggests it could be preparing for a sixth.

Intelligence officials have warned it could be less than two years away from achieving the ability to strike the continental United States.

This is no easy fish to fry

This is why I was thinking about SK! Although it is true that it has a capable and modern armed forces, it is still vulnerable.. and both the N&S Koreans will be the main victims of a conflict..
North Korea's Threats come always with the US-SK military drills, one can be sure that neither Russia nor China agree with this US presence either..Hence we see Topol like new ICBMs, DF-XXs MRBMs and much more new NK systems.. there was also a BM missile test (NK missiles use solid fuel now), and a promise to do another nuclear test in a time chosen by NK.. it seems it has restrained itself in this regard following China's economic threats..

NK's medium-long range ballistic missiles look impressive, and they seem to be more mobile than India's. This small country is a tough nut to crack! They will not go down like Iraq or Libya.

excellent journalism. this is why the u.s will eradicate the threat now.

USA should act fast to stop the threat from North Korea which is expected to become more pronounced in the coming weeks. North Korea is moving fast to mate its ICBM with nukes (probably with help from PLA across the border)
