North Korea conducted a failed missile test Sunday in defiance of
increased U.S. warnings that there would be serious consequences for such
provocative actions, including a possible military response. A White House
foreign policy adviser said the type of missile that North Korea tried to fire
Sunday was medium-range and it exploded 4-5 seconds after it was launched near
the country’s submarine base in Sinpo in South Hamgyong Province on the east
coast of the country.
According to the adviser, who is traveling with Vice President Mike
Pence, the U.S. had good intelligence before and after the launch. No planned
response is expected from the Trump administration because there was no need
for the U.S. to reinforce the failure. The official, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, said that had it been a nuclear test, “other actions would have been
taken by the U.S.”
