North Korea has carried out another failed missile launch, according to the South Korean military.
The launch of the intermediate-range missile is the second failed test in less than a week after North Korea’s recent launch of a Musudan missile, which has an estimated range of 2,500 miles.
The missile is said to be capable of hitting US bases as far away as Guam.
It has been tested eight times this year, with only one success.
However, experts fear it could become operational as early as next year.
The US condemned the launch, calling it a “further provocation”.
North Korea’s last test was denounced by the UN, which has banned it from any use of ballistic or nuclear technology.
