North Korea has test-fired a ballistic missile, the South Korean military quoted by Yonhap news agency says.
It was not clear how far the missile travelled, but a US government source told Reuters the test failed.
The missile was fired from a site in South Pyeongan province north of Pyongyang in the early hours of Saturday morning local time, South Korea's military chiefs of staff said.
They said the type of missile was not yet known.
There has been no word from North Korea.
The reported launch occurred a matter of hours after the US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called on the rest of the world to help force North Korea to give up its nuclear ambitions.

Let's hope Trump isn't talking himself into a corner where he feels it necessary to take military action which would escalate quickly.

Fookin typical.

I bet WW3 nuts off tomorrow at 16:45 reaching the global oblivion stage a touch before 17:00.

If it weren't for Sky TV we'd go out as champions. :angry:

with the recent political posturing from the USA & China, one would assume they would refrain from carrying out more test until at least the start of next season, but then they do this...

Trump fears 'major, major conflict' with North Korea

US President Donald Trump has said he would like to solve the North Korea crisis diplomatically, but that a "major, major conflict" is possible.
China's foreign minister called for negotiation and dialogue.
The UN Security Council is meeting to discuss North Korea on Friday and will consider further measures to counter its nuclear and missile programmes.
The country has made several military shows of strength in recent weeks but a missile it was testing failed.
America sent warships to the region and began installing a controversial anti-missile system in South Korea earlier this week.

Don't want to think about such things on a day that promises such glory in football.
It does seem that Billy Bunter is determined to tweak the dragon's tail until he gets a response. Perhaps it suits his purpose, to hide in a bunker and come out shouting about Western aggression. .. The people left alive will idolize him even more....
