[IsraelTimes] ICBM falls into ocean off Hokkaido after traveling 2,700 kilometers; Tokyo calls launch ‘grave, serious security threat’

North Koreans ‘continue to learn’ by each launch, Pentagon says

[Iran Press TV] Although the latest missile test by North Korea did not demonstrate any specific advancements in Pyongyang’s technology, it still means the resolute country’s scientists "continue to learn" more and more about military know-how.

Speaking among news hounds, Pentagon front man Colonel Robert Manning called Pyongyang’s latest launch a "threat."

"We have to make the assumption that they continue to learn throughout each one of these missile launches," Manning said. "You're still firing missiles, so that's a threat."

Three missiles were launched from Kittaeryong on North Korea’s east coast over the weekend, according to US Pacific Command (PACOM). Two of the missiles reportedly flew some 155 miles in the northeastern direction while the third one went kaboom! almost immediately.

"If you’re asking if those three short-range missiles was less of a threat, the answer is no. It was a provocative action," the Pentagon front man said.
