The United States detected an intercontinental ballistic missile launch out of North Korea at approximately 10:45 am ET on Friday, the Pentagon confirmed to CNN -- Pyongyang's second such test this month. The missile was launched from Mupyong-ni and traveled about 1000 km before splashing down in the waters off the Japanese coast, according to the Pentagon, which is working with interagency partners on a more detailed assessment. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) determined the missile launch from North Korea did not pose a threat to North America. read more http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/28/politics/north-korea-missile-test/index.html
