Reuters: Attempted North Korea missile launch fails, says South Korea.
SEOUL | By Ju-min Park | Tue May 31, 2016 2:51pm EDT
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-missile-fail-idUSKCN0YM015
North Korea attempted to fire a missile from its east coast on Tuesday but
the launch appears to have failed, South Korean officials said, in what
would be the latest in a string of unsuccessful ballistic missile tests by
the isolated country.
The launch attempt took place at around 5:20 a.m. local time (4.20 p.m. ET),
said the officials, who asked not to be identified. They did not elaborate.
Tension in Northeast Asia has been high since North Korea conducted its
fourth nuclear test in January and followed that with a satellite launch and
test launches of various missiles.
North Korea appeared to have attempted to launch an intermediate-range
Musudan missile, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency said.
North Korea attempted three test launches of the Musudan in April, all of
which failed, USA and South Korean officials have said.
Yonhap quoted a South Korean government source as saying the missile was
likely to have exploded at about the time it lifted off from a mobile
launcher.
China, North Korea's only major ally, called for the cessation of any action
that would exacerbate tension.
"The situation on the peninsula remains complex and sensitive," Chinese
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said at a briefing when asked
about the launch.
"We think that all sides should avoid any actions that further worsen
tensions."
China has been angered by North Korea's nuclear and missile tests and signed
up to tough U.N. sanctions against its reclusive neighbor in March.
North Korean state media did not mention any missile launch.
A Pentagon statement said that a failed North Korean intermediate-range
ballistic missile launch had been detected, but did not pose a threat to
North America.
"We strongly condemn North Korea's missile test in violation of UN Security
Council resolutions, which explicitly prohibit North Korea's use of
ballistic missile technology," the Pentagon statement said.
IN A RUSH?
The North's flurry of weapons technology tests came in the run-up to the
first congress in 36 years of its ruling Workers' Party this month, where
young leader Kim Jong Un consolidated his control.
Tuesday's launch appears to have been its first missile test since then, and
experts said it was unusual to test-fire a missile so soon after a failure.
The South Korean military said the successive tests could stem from Kim's
order in March for further tests of nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles.
"They must've been in a rush. Maybe Kim Jong Un was very upset about the
failures," said Lee Choon-geun, senior research fellow at South Korea's
state-run Science and Technology Policy Institute.
North Korea has never carried out a successful launch of the Musudan missile
, which theoretically has the range to reach any part of Japan and the USA
territory of Guam.
The North is believed to have up to 30 Musudan missiles, according to South
Korean media, which officials said were first deployed in around 2007.
"It could have cracks and something wrong with the welding," Lee said of
possible causes for the latest failure. "But deployment before test-firing
missiles to complete development seems unusual."
The attempted launch took place near the east coast city of Wonsan, one of
the South Korean officials said, the same area where previous Musudan tests
had taken place.
Separately, the international department of China's Communist Party said
diplomat Ri Su Yong, one of North Korean highest-profile officials, visited
China on Tuesday, meeting the department's head, Song Tao.
The two expressed a desire to increase cooperation between their parties and
work hard to promote regional peace and stability, the department said in a
brief statement.
There was no indication of any link between the missile launch and Ri's
visit.
Ri was foreign minister until he was named a member of the politburo during
the recent Workers' Party congress.

Fox News: North Korea missile launch attempt failed, Pentagon confirms.
Published May 31, 2016
Lucas Tomlinson and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/05/31/south-korea-says-north-korea-missile-launch-likely-failed.html
In the latest embarrassment for the communist nation of North Korea, a
ballistic missile thought to have a range of 2,500 miles failed to launch
early Monday morning, Pentagon officials confirmed to Fox News.
The medium-range Musudan blew up shortly after takeoff in the eastern
coastal town of Wonsan, according to officials briefed on the latest
intelligence. The missile had the potential to hit American military bases
as far away as Guam.
"They are 0-4", one official said describing North Korea's most recent
missile launch attempts.
The missile exploded at a mobile launch pad as soon as the launch button was
pressed, an unidentified government source told South Korea's Yonhap news
agency.
It suggests the missile may have even failed to lift off. However, South
Korea's military couldn't confirm the report. Yonhap did not say how its
source obtained the information.
The USA Department of Defense said in a statement that its assessment also
indicated that the launch was a failure. It condemned the launch as a
violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions that prohibit North Korea
from using ballistic missile technology.
In April, a planned launch marking the 104th birthday of the late North
Korean founder Kim Il Sung failed when the missile blew up, a senior USA
defense official told Fox News.
Despite the recent failures, there have been growing worries about North
Korea's nuclear and missile activities this year, which include a nuclear
test in January and a rocket launch in February that outsiders saw as a test
of banned long-range missile technology.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un issued an order in March that tests be
conducted of a nuclear warhead and ballistic missiles capable of carrying
such warheads.
"I think they keep firing (Musudans) because they've continuously failed" in
previous launches, said Lim Eul Chul, a North Korea expert at South Korea's
Kyungnam University. "They'll continue to make efforts to upgrade (Musudan'
s) capability to a level that can satisfy their leader."
Lim said Tuesday's launch attempt shows that North Korea is openly pressing
ahead with its vow to bolster its military strength, regardless of whether
it is pushing for talks with South Korea. "For them, upgrading Musudan's
capability is a different matter from seeking a dialogue with South Korea,"
he said.
Before April, North Korea had never flight-tested a Musudan missile,
although one was displayed during a military parade in the year 2010 in
Pyongyang.
