North Korea has fired another missile after having not fired a missile for more than two months. According to PBS, it is not clear what type of missile North Korea fired and the complete path of the missile is still being analyzed. However, the North Korean missile was launched from an area to the north of Pyongyang on Wednesday, local time, according to the South Korean military. The missile launched was recognized by U. S. authorities at 1:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 28, according to a spokesman for the Pentagon, Col. Robert Manning.
While more details are to come about the North Korean missile launch, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders turned to Twitter to acknowledge that President Donald Trump was briefed about the missile launch while the missile was still in the air on its trajectory. The Pentagon noted that the missile launch by North Korea did not pose a threat to the U. S., even though their KN-20 intercontinental ballistic missile (or ICBM) traveled approximately 1,000 miles prior to splashing down in the Economic Exclusion Zone of Japan in the Sea of Japan.
