The test, overseen by leader Kim Jong Un, was conducted on Thursday at North Korea's Sohae Satellite Launching Ground, which has been used to test missile technologies, including rocket engines and space launch vehicles, the official KCNA news agency reported on Friday.North Korea has conducted an unprecedented number of missile tests this year, including an intercontinental ballistic missile , despite international bans and sanctions.
