April 29, 2017 08:05

North Korea on Saturday launched a ballistic missile that blew up over land, a spokesman for the US Pacific Command said.

The missile didn't leave North Korean territory, US Navy Cmdr Dave Benham said.

A US military assessment found the main part of the missile landed approximately 35 kilometres from Pukchang airfield, a US official told CNN.

"North Korea disrespected the wishes of China & its highly respected President when it launched, though unsuccessfully, a missile today. Bad!," US President Donald Trump tweeted.
