{O/C} North Korea today launched yet another intermediate-range ballistic missile over Japan as part of its relentless nuclear test.

The Hwasong-12 missile that could reach the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam and beyond, was part of North Korea's longest-ever weapons testing spree in years.
The North Korean missile launch was the most provocative this year.
As the missile thrummed its way through Japan's skies, train services came to a shuddering halt and evacuation alerts were prompted.
Both the Japanese and South Korean leaders denounced the provocation and called it "reckless."
The South Korean and U.S. militaries, meanwhile, responded stiffly by flying fighter jets and firing weapons at a target off South Korea's west coast.
North Korea has test-fired some forty missiles so far this year as nuclear negotiations remain stalled.
