북 탄도미사일 동해로 발사 We begin with North Korea's latest ballistic missile launch...
The missile was fired around two-and-a-half hours ago from the northwestern part of the country.
It flew for more than 900 kilometers before coming down in the East Sea.

It flew for more than 900 kilometers before coming down in the East Sea.
This provocation comes a matter of days after President Moon Jae-in and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump held summit talks at the White House.
At that summit, both presidents left the door open for dialogue with the regime if it stopped its provocations... that offer has clearly fallen on deaf ears.
It also comes just 24 hours ahead of a G20 summit in Germany which will bring together the leaders of South Korea, the U.S., Japan, China and Russia..
For more details,... we connect live on the phone with our Kim Hyun-bin who is standing by at the Ministry of National Defense in Seoul.
Hyun-bin... Mark,... shortly after 10am, South Korea time,... so two hours ago now... South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed that North Korea had launched a ballistic missile into the East Sea. " "North Korea fired an unidentified ballistic missile at 9:40 am, South Korea time, from Banghyon, North Pyongan Province. The missile came down in the East Sea. We are currently analyzing the maximum altitude and distance the missile flew. Our military is on a state of readiness for any additional provocations." 9 40 . , . .
We are still awaiting information on what kind of ballistic missile this was, but officials here are now saying it covered a distance of 930 kilometers.
Japanese broadcaster NHK reported soon after the launch that the missile flew for 40 minutes before falling into waters near the Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone,... those are waters in the East Sea that are close to Japan.
The launch was immediately reported to President Moon Jae-in and an emergency meeting was convened.
As you mentioned, this kind of provocation is becoming an increasingly regular occurrence.
This is the tenth ballistic missile North Korea has fired this year alone.
I will bring you more updates in the next newscast.
Back to you.
