The missile launch is believed to be North Korea's longest yet, as the U. S. considers its options
National Security Adviser Gen. H. R. McMaster and U. S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley will be briefing reporters at the White House on Friday, after North Korea launched a missile over Japan early Friday morning, local time.
The intermediate range ballistic missile traveled for 19 minutes before landing in the Pacific Ocean, according to South Korea’s military, and could have reached as far as Guam, if North Korea directed it that way. The missile launch is believed to be North Korea’s longest yet.
This latest test comes after the U. N. Security Council recently added sanctions.
