Alert raised over N.Korea's latest missile launch

The South Korean military says North Korea fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile from Mupyong-ri in the northern province of Jagang into the Sea of Japan shortly before 8 a.m. on Sunday.

The military also says the missile flew about 800 kilometers at a maximum altitude of 2,000 kilometers.

A military source says the missile's top speed was Mach 16, adding that South Korea and the US had detected signs of the launch and taken a readiness posture.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in told the National Security Council that the situation resembles that of 2017.
