North Korea leader says missile gives ability to attack U.S. in the Pacific: KCNA

North Korea leader Kim Jong Un said after supervising the test launch of a "medium long-range strategic ballistic missile" that the country came to possess "the sure capability to attack" U.S. interests in the Pacific, official media reported on Thursday.

South Korean and U.S. military officials have said the North launched two intermediate-range missiles on Wednesday. The first of the two was considered a failure.

The test-fire was successful without any impact to the security of neighboring countries, the North's KCNA news agency said.
