North Korea fires ballistic missile
North Korea has fired a ballistic missile from its east coast, Sputnik International reports citing the data of the US intelligence.
According to the Information, the missile flew approximately 500 miles before crashing into the ocean.
The launch comes one day after the United States implemented harsh new sanctions against Pyongyang over its January nuclear test and February satellite launch, which was seen as a veiled attempt to demonstrate Pyongyang's ballistic missile capabilities, the source reminds.
The DPRK fired two short-range ballistic missiles into the East Sea earlier this month following the implementation of new UN sanctions, the report says.
