The attempted missile launch comes a day after North Korea paraded intercontinental ballistic missiles in front of the world and its adversaries, including the US, heightened their defenses against a strike. US vice president Mike Pence was also due to arrive in South Korea on Sunday for meetings with the government there.

试射导弹的前一天，朝鲜在全世界以及美国在内的政敌面前列队检阅了其洲际弹道导弹，加强了他们对抗袭击的防御措施。美国副总统麦克·彭斯也因此于星期日到达韩国与那边的政府会晤。

“North Korea attempted to test an unidentified type of missile from Sinpo area in the South Hamkyong Province this morning, but we suspect the launch has failed,” read a statement by South Korea.
