#BREAKING: North Korea on Thursday fired an unidentified projectile from near its east coast city of Wonsan, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said. "Our military is monitoring the situation in case of additional launches and maintaining a readiness posture…

#BREAKING: US defence official tells @barbarastarrcnn that North Korea has launched at least 1 short-range projectile - via @jmhansler

The US is to send an E-3 "Sentry" AWACS platform to Curaçao to ‘support counter-drug operations in Curaçao’ Curaçao is located just 50 miles from Venezuela #US #Venezuela

Been waiting on this one. They've been beating around the bush for a bit.

Reminder that a short-range ballistic missile can have a range up to 1,000 km & if the launch is indeed similar to what was tested in May, the apogee suggests the Islander-like missile could well evade ROK & US missile defences & carry nuclear warhead(s).…

Obviously this test won’t carry a nuclear warhead though, that’s pretty much a given.

#BREAKING: North Korea has launched 2 unidentified projectiles that flew approx 430km- @yonhaptweet

@YonhapNews UPDATE: South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff says North Korea fired two projectiles from Wonsan -- one at 5:34am and the other at 5:57am. Flight distance was approximately 430 kilometers. - @GalloVOA

NEW: South Korea says North Korea fired at least 2 projectiles, which traveled 430 kilometers, Yonhap says

This map should give you an idea of the flight distance, including distance if it was shot into SK. Rough map of 430km.

I am quite confident that the missile test was the KN-23. North Korean equivalent to the Russian Iskander.

Jacob Rees-Mogg @Jacob_Rees_Mogg has been appointed Lord President of the Council, and Leader of the House of Commons @CommonsLeader. He will also attend Cabinet.

#UPDATE: Both ‘projectiles’ landed in the East Sea/Sea of Japan after travelling approx 430km. Likely KN-23’s, short-range ballistic missiles first tested in May (lot like the Russian Iskander) https://t.co/Prw9gxNsZB

Looks like a pair of KN-23s. “The North ‘fired one unidentified projectile at 5:34 a.m. and the other at 5:57 a.m., from Wonsan areas into the East Sea, and they flew around 430 kilometers,’ according to the JCS.” https://t.co/8Y8NZJqezQ

North Korea's nuclear and missile arsenals are now routinely being improved, displayed, and tested. The current bargain is: don't test nuclear warheads or long range missiles and the United States won't object or seriously try to stop it. https://t.co/NzlBIdDs5r

Threaded observations: 2/ Characteristics appear very similar to the May test fire of the new KN23 SRBM. https://t.co/0rFxve0IKw
