North Korea launched another missile on Friday, following its first launch, from the same airport, more than a week ago.
The missile was launched from Sunan, the site of Pyongyang's international airport. It flew over northern Japan before landing in the Pacific Ocean, according to U.S. Pacific Command.
The missile, its longest ever, reached an altitude of about 770 kilometres and flew for about 19 minutes over a distance of about 3700 kilometres, according to South Korea's military, far enough to reach the US Pacific territory of Guam.
The launch comes in the wake of UN Security Council sanctions against North Korea over its September 3rd Nuclear test. The UN Security Council is to meet again at 3 PM on Friday at the request of the United States and Japan.
