North Korea launched a
ballistic missile Sunday morning that flew around 430 miles before crashing
into the sea, U.S. and South Korean military officials said, in what appears to
be the latest missile test in defiance of United Nations sanctions.
The unidentified
ballistic missile was launched at 5:27 a.m. Sunday off Kusong north of the
North Korean capital of Pyongyang, a South Korean military official said.
