CCTV9英语新闻：DPRK fires medium-range ballistic missile into sea

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has fired a medium-range ballistic missile into east waters. This move is just days after the DRPK leader Kim Jong-Un ordered further nuclear warhead and missile tests. 

 

South Korea’s defence ministry spokesman said the missile was launched from the southwest county of Sukchon at 5:55 a.m. local time, and flew 800 kilometers before falling off the DPRK’s east coast. Considering the flying distance, South Korea believed it to have been a Rodong ballistic missile.
