Russia’s ballistic missile launch early warning system (SPRN) detected the launch form North Korea at about 08:30 GMT on Saturday, the ministry said.

“The ballistic target had been tracked in flight by the SPRN for 23 minutes before it fell into the central part of the Sea of Japan, some 500 km from the territory of Russia,” the ministry statement said.

It added the missile’s trajectory had been away from Russia at a considerable distance from its border.

“The missile launch didn’t pose any threat to the Russian Federation. Russian early warning radar and air defense forces are on regular duty now,” the ministry said.

Earlier, the White House condemned the launch in a statement, saying that US President Donald Trump “cannot imagine that Russia is pleased,” considering that the rocket landed closer to Russia than to Japan.

The South Korean and Japanese militaries reported that the missile had flown a distance of 700 kilometers while reaching an altitude of more than 2,000 kilometers, possibly indicating that a new type of intermediate-range missile was being tested by North Korea.

The US’s regional allies criticized Pyongyang’s test, calling it a violation of UN Security Council resolutions and evidence that North Korea presents a threat. Several countries in the European Union also released statements to the same effect.

North Korea’s economic lifeline, China, also condemned the launch, but called on all parties involved to exercise restraint in a difficult situation.

Yeah. Carl vison carrier is a US threat to any countries. Any current US nuclear energy carriers and future new US carriers are a threat to any country.

A nuclear energy mobile squadron military air base carrier is a violation of UN convention threaten to bring stability to any region whereever the carrier go.

Carl vison carrier is a US terrorist military WMD.

Pyongyang’s new missile test is, in a way, provoking President Trump, says Sreeram Chaulia, dean of the Jindal School of International Affairs.

North Korea has drawn international condemnation once again – this time by conducting a new missile test on Sunday.

Washington responded in a statement reading “North Korea has been a flagrant menace for far too long... Let this latest provocation serve as a call for all nations to implement far stronger sanctions against North Korea.”

Sreeram Chaulia, dean of the Jindal School of International Affairs, says that it seems that North Korean leader Kim Jong believes that the Americans “cannot credibly attack” his country, unlike Syria and Libya, which gave up their nuclear weapons programs.

He told RT: “They take pride in their militaristic possessions of nuclear weapons and what looks like up to medium range ballistic missiles, and so on. I think they are counting on and, in a way, provoking Trump to do what he has threatened to do – which is to use military force, launch maybe a missile or a preemptive strike on North Korea, and to see for himself what the consequence will be. I think they are trying to push the limits. It looks like the timing is to send the message of defiance: “No matter how many aircraft carriers you send, no matter how many ring fences you make around me with your allies, at the end of the day, I am going to continue developing my missile and nuclear weapons programs, come what may.”

In Chaulia’s opinion, Pyongyang is “testing the waters” to see how far it can go.

“It looks like they are trying to negotiate from some position of strength vis-à-vis the Americans, and even vis-à-vis the Japanese and the South Koreans, while they have a conducive climate in South Korea now with the liberal regime willing to offer rapprochement. Unfortunately, Kim Jong Un has gone the other way, where he believes that the more he provokes, the more he will get away with things, because he believes that even China can’t stop them anymore, although China has been warning them against [missile tests],” he said.

Washington stated that the missile had posed a threat to Russia, but has Moscow denied that, saying the missile landed some 500 kilometers from the Russian territory.

Commenting on the conflicting accounts, Chaulia argued that it is unlikely that North Korea has developed “precision-guided missiles.”

“I think they are walking their way up gradually through trial and error. I don’t think they can directly [launch] a missile exactly the way they want to get. It looks like a short-range missile that they’ve tested and fired into the Sea of Japan. It is just that, usually, they go towards Japan, but now, this time, they have fallen closer to Russian shores. I don’t think it is intended,” he said.

北韓疑試射改良型飛彈 專家：絕對堪憂
[中央社]
中央社2017年5月14日

（中央社首爾14日綜合外電報導）北韓今晨試射1枚彈道飛彈，專家說，這枚飛彈射程比北韓以往測試的飛彈遠了許多，意味著北韓在2月試射之後，可能已取得一些進展，此一情況絕對堪憂。

路透社報導，根據南韓與日本官員，這枚飛彈飛行距離700公里，飛行高度達2000多公里，比北韓2月同樣從平壤西北方龜城（Kusong）地區成功試射的中程飛彈飛得還遠、還高。

據報高度顯示，北韓是採高軌道發射這枚飛彈。

UCS全球安全計畫（UCS Global Security Program）聯合主任、飛彈專家萊特（David Wright）表示，如果飛彈以標準軌道發射，最遠射程大約4500公里。

而南韓首爾慶南大學遠東研究所金東燁（KimDong-yub，音譯）則說，他估計若採取標準軌道發射，將能飛6000公里，意即飛彈將能抵達夏威夷。

外界認為，洲際彈道飛彈射程超過6000公里。

日本表示，這枚飛彈飛行30分鐘後，落入北韓東岸與日本之間的海域。北韓一直朝此方向試射飛彈。

哈佛史密森尼天體物理中心（Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics）的麥道威（Jonathan McDowell）說：「如果那項報告…正確無誤，那麼這次試射的確可能代表，北韓有1枚新遠程飛彈，這絕對堪憂。」

法新社報導，首爾的北韓大學院大學（Universityof North Korean Studies）教授梁茂進（YangMoo-Jin）表示：「北韓顯然打算試探（南韓新總統）文在寅，看看他的北韓政策，以及南韓與美國之間的政策協調將如何具體發展。」

他補充說，由於北韓與美國最近都曾暗示願意展開會談，這次試射的目標也是在雙邊進行可能協商之前，「充分利用北韓的政治槓桿」。

梁茂進說：「北韓想要在協商之前展示，他們不會如此輕易地放棄既珍貴又強大的武器。」（譯者：中央社周莉芳）1060514

SEOUL - North Korea said Monday it had successfully tested a new type of rocket in its latest missile launch, as analysts said it showed an unprecedented range that brought US bases in the Pacific within reach.

Sunday's launch was of a "new ground-to-ground medium long-range strategic ballistic rocket" named the Hwasong-12, the official Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) said.

Leader Kim Jong-Un personally oversaw the test, it said, and "hugged officials in the field of rocket research, saying that they worked hard to achieve a great thing".

The isolated North is under multiple sets of United Nations sanctions over its nuclear and missile programmes, which have triggered global alarm.

The missile was launched on an unusually high trajectory, with KCNA saying it flew to an altitude of 2,111.5 kilometres and travelled 787 kilometres before coming down in the Sea of Japan (East Sea).

That suggests a range of 4,500 kilometres (2,800 miles) if flown for maximum distance, analysts said.

It "represents a level of performance never before seen from a North Korean missile", aerospace engineering specialist John Schilling wrote on the respected 38 North website.

It appeared to demonstrate an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) that could "reliably strike the US base at Guam" in the Pacific, he said, and "more importantly, may represent a substantial advance to developing an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM)".

The North says it needs atomic weapons to defend itself against the threat of invasion and has carried out two atomic tests and dozens of missile launches since the beginning of last year.

Its goal is to develop a missile capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to the continental United States - something President Donald Trump has vowed "won't happen".

Tensions between the two reached a peak in recent weeks, with Washington saying military action was an option under consideration and Pyongyang issuing threats of its own, sending fears of conflict spiralling.

Trump later appeared to hold open the door to negotiations, saying he would be "honoured" to meet Kim and called him a "smart cookie".

Last week the South elected a new president, Moon Jae-In, who advocates reconciliation with Pyongyang and said at his inauguration that he was willing "in the right circumstances" to visit the North to ease tensions.

But he slammed the latest missile test as a "reckless provocation" after holding an emergency meeting with national security advisers.

Dialogue would be possible "only if the North changes its attitude", he said.

In April the North put dozens of missiles on show at a giant military parade through the streets of Pyongyang, including one that appeared to be the type of device launched on Sunday.

The test "proved to the full all the technical specifications of the rocket" which was "capable of carrying a large-size heavy nuclear warhead", KCNA said.

There is no evidence yet that Pyongyang has mastered miniaturisation sufficiently to fit a nuclear weapon into a missile nose cone, or the re-entry technology needed to ensure it survives returning into Earth's atmosphere.

But it described another launch earlier this year as a drill for an attack on US bases in Japan - which has long been within its range - and David Wright of the Union of Concerned Scientists said the Hwasong-12 missile "has considerably longer range than its current missiles".

Schilling said the ability to hit Guam was not a game-changer, but that the new missile could be a step along the way.

"What would change the strategic balance is an ICBM capable of reaching the US mainland," he said.

"This is not that missile but it might be a testbed, demonstrating technologies and systems to be used in future ICBMs. It may be closer to an operational ICBM than had been previously estimated." KCNA cited Kim as saying that the US strategy of what it called "militarily browbeating only weak countries and nations which have no nukes" would never work on the North.

"If the US dares opt for a military provocation against the DPRK, we are ready to counter it," it said.

The United States called for tougher sanctions against the North, with the White House saying it "has been a flagrant menace for far too long".

The missile came down "so close to Russian soil... the president cannot imagine that Russia is pleased", it added in a statement.

Russia's defence ministry later said the missile landed about 500 kilometres from its territory and posed no threat.

Washington and Tokyo called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council, which was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.

China, Pyongyang's sole major ally and main trading partner, which has been under growing US pressure to help rein in its wayward neighbour, urged restraint.

"All relevant parties should exercise restraint and refrain from further aggravating tensions in the region," said Beijing's foreign ministry.
