North Korea said it test fired a new type of a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) Wednesday, a day after Pyongyang and Washington agreed to resume \u00a0nuclear talks.<\/p>\n

The missile was launched from near Wonsan, a city of North Korea’s east coast on Wednesday morning and flew toward the East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan,<\/p>\n

It covered the\u00a0 distance of 450 kilometers (280 miles) before landing in waters off Japan. It reached an altitude of 910 kilometers (565 miles).<\/p>\n

The missile, which was able to carry a nuclear weapon,\u00a0 was the North’s 11th test this year.\u00a0 But this one, fired from a platform at sea, was capable of being launched from a submarine.<\/p>\n

Being submarine-capable is important as it means North Korea could launch missiles far outside its territory.<\/p>\n

However, North Korea’s state news agency KCNA said on Thursday\u00a0 there was “no adverse impact on the security of neighbouring countries”.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the launch, a US official said it was launced from a barge- like platform designed to test underwater launches \u00a0and not a submarine which North Korea has never demonstrate the ability to fire from.<\/div>\n

The latest US assessment says that the missile was not underwater when it was launched from the barge.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
