North Korea appears to maintain itself on U.S. agenda with missile launch

North Korea fired off an obvious ballistic missile early Thursday, Japanese and South Korean authorities stated, as Pyongyang appears to maintain itself on the busy agenda of the subsequent U.S. president.

The missile, which was fired towards the Sea of Japan, was believed to have flown for simply a number of minutes earlier than splashing down in waters outdoors Japan’s unique financial zone, in response to Seoul and Tokyo.

The newest missile launch by the nuclear-armed pariah state got here only a day after the U.S. presidential debate, throughout which Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, assailed former President Donald Trump, the Republican choose, for his “love letters” with North Korean chief Kim Jong Un.
