Third missile test by Pyongyang in two weeks fails

North Korea experienced two failed intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) launches on Thursday, provoking a United Nations protest amid growing concerns that the North will conduct yet another missile test and a fifth nuclear test shortly.
Following the failed test of a Musudan missile early Thursday, North Korea fired another Musudan missile at around 7:26 p.m. from the eastern port city of Wonsan, according to the South Korean military. South Korea and the United States concluded that both launches failed.
It was the third consecutive failure of a Musudan missile in just two weeks, marking a total failure for the North to test-fire the IRBM, which can deliver a nuclear warhead to any part of Japan and as far as Guam, with a range of around 3,500 kilometers (2,175 miles).
The 15-member United Nations Security Council met Friday in New York for an informal consultation in the wake of the ballistic missile launches at the request of the United States.
The UN Security Council is likely to issue a statement condemning the latest missile tests by Friday night, New York time. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urged Pyongyang to cease further provocative actions, and Japan’s UN ambassador, Motohide Yoshikawa, said that during the closed-door meeting, “Everybody condemned the latest failed launches,” according to Reuters.
