North Korea fires missile into sea as Trump meets Xi

NORTH KOREA greeted today’s anticipated first meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping by test-launching a KN-15 medium-range missile into its eastern waters.

The missile’s first publicly known test was in February when dynastic leader Kim Jong Un declared that the Pukguksong-2 provided a nuclear attack capability against the United States and South Korea.

North Korean media has forecast that the world will soon witness what it called “eventful successes” in the country’s space development.
