    North Korea conducts new missile test

    North Korea has conducted another missile test, Japanese and South Korean officials say.
    The missile appeared to land in the sea off Japan, the Japanese national broadcaster NHK said.
    In early July, Pyongyang claimed to have successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) for the first time.
    That test was the latest in a series conducted in defiance of a UN ban. The range of the latest test is not known.
    The range of North Korea's ICBM has been disputed, but some experts said it could reach Alaska.

    Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis said a launch appeared to have been conducted and that more information was awaited.
    The latest missile test is the 14th test carried out by North Korea in 2017.
    The missile was launched at 23:41 North Korea time (15:41 GMT) from Jagang province in the north of the country, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported.

    Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said the missile flew for about 45 minutes - slightly longer than the ICBM tested in July.
    He said it landed in the sea in Japan's exclusive economic zone - not within Japan's territorial waters.
    South Korea's President Moon Jae-in has convened an emergency security meeting for the middle of the night, Yonhap said.

    July 29 1: 04
    According to the Ministry of Defense, it is estimated that a ballistic missile was fired from central North Korea around 11 pm on the 28th, flying for about 45 minutes and falling into the exclusive economic zone of Japan. So far, there is no information on damage.
    According to the Ministry of Defense officials, the altitude of the missiles may have exceeded 3000 kilometers, and the falling waters are possibly within the exclusive economic zones of Japan in the west of Okushiri Island.

    In addition, the Ministry of Defense is conducting analysis as a method of launching, as there is a possibility that "Lofted orbit" which launched to a high altitude with the launch angle higher than usual was used.
