North Korea carries out new ballistic missile test
North Korea has carried out another ballistic missile test days after a new president took office in the South.
The missile was launched near north-western Kusong, flying hundreds of miles then landing in the Sea of Japan.
It puts immediate pressure on South Korea's President Moon Jae-in, who campaigned on a platform of better engagement with the North.
A series of North Korean missile tests this year has sparked international alarm and raised tensions with the US.
Two missile launches last month both failed, with the rockets exploding just minutes into flight.
