North Korea seems to have botched another missile launch.
Fired on the isolationist state’s eastern coast early April 28, the “Musudan” missile appears to have failed. Also known as a BM-25, the projectile is an intermediate-range missile, with a maximum range of 2,500 miles.
According to South Korean Yonhap news outlet, the mid-ranged missile did not make it high enough for South Korea’s radar system to detect. Al Jazeera reports that the launch was picked up by a US intelligence satellite instead.
This mishap comes just two weeks after another North Korean Musudan launch failed on April 15, and days after the North tested a submarine-launched missile.
