This Thursday, May 9, 2019, photo provided Friday, May 10, 2019, by the North Korean government shows a launched projectile in a military test in North Korea. Published Friday, May 10, 2019 1:26AM EDTSEOUL, Korea, Republic Of -- The U.S.
Experts say the missile was identical to the one that North Korea launched on Saturday, which appeared to be a solid-fuel missile modeled after Russia's Iskander short-range ballistic missile system. The Rodong Sinmun photos showed the North used a tracked launch vehicle on Thursday, unlike Saturday when it used a wheeled vehicle.
South Korea's military said the two missiles were launched from the town of Kusong in North Pyongan province, where North Korea conducted its first successful flight tests of its Hwasong-12 intermediate-range missile and Hwasong-14 intercontinental ballistic missile, both in 2017. South Korean President Moon Jae-in urged North Korea to refrain from actions that could impede diplomacy. In an interview with the KBS television network, Moon also said Seoul will explore various options to help revive the talks, including providing food aid to the North and pushing for his fourth summit with Kim.
