SEOUL: North Korea fired a suspected ballistic missile that exploded mid-air shortly after launch, Seoul said Wednesday, with analysts warning it was likely a failed test of Pyongyang's so-called 'monster missile'.The launch — North Korea's tenth suspected weapons test this year — comes after the United States said the nuclear-armed country was preparing to fire an intercontinental ballistic missile 'at full range' for the first time since 2017.
Negotiations with Donald Trump, US president at the time, collapsed a year later and since then Kim has doubled down on his plans to modernize his military while ignoring US offers of talks.'Signs indicate the North test-fired Hwasong-17 today,' Cheong Seong-chang, a senior researcher at the private Sejong Institute told AFP.
