North Korea 'Ballistic Missile' Test Launch Fails

 

Daily Mail: North Korea 'monster missile' test launch fails, with debris coming down close to Pyongyang in humiliating failure for Kim Jong Un 

* North Korea launched a projectile earlier today but it 'immediately failed' 

* South Korea's military said that the projectile exploded shortly after launch 

* It was likely a test of Kim Jong Un's so-called 'monster missile', the Hwasong-17 

* The Hwasong-17 is designed to carry multiple warheads over 9,000 miles 

* This would allow North Korea to target anywhere in the United States 

North Korea launched a projectile earlier today but it 'immediately failed' after liftoff, according to Seoul. 

The failed launch, which sent debris and toxic rocket fuel raining out of the sky close to the capital Pyongyang according to NK News, was likely a test of Kim Jong Un's so-called 'monster missile' according to analysts. 

The Hwasong-17, first unveiled to the North Korean public in October 2020 in a huge military parade, is thought to be able to carry multiple war heads and is intended to have a maximum range of 9,000 miles (15,000km), which would allow the pariah state to strike any target in the United States.
