North Korea tests railway-borne missile in latest launch amid rising tension with US

Amid rising tension with the US, North Korea tested a railway-borne missile in its latest launch on Friday, marking its third weapons test this month.

North Korea tested a railway-borne missile in its firing drills on Friday, state media KCNA said on Saturday, marking its third weapons test this month, which triggered a US push for fresh sanctions against the isolated state.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said it had detected what it presumed were two short-range ballistic missiles launched eastward from North Pyongan Province on the northwest coast of North Korea.
