South Korea is reporting that North Korea has fired two mid-range missiles from the east coast of the country.
The first test was considered a failure, reaching only 90 miles before falling into the sea. The second test was their most successful test to-date: 400 km and reaching an altitude of 1,000 km.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said Seoul and the US were "carrying out an in-depth analysis" of the second missile, and did not say whether it was considered a success.North Korea, which is developing nuclear weapons, is banned by UN resolutions from any use of ballistic missile technology.
Earlier this year, North Korea conducted its fourth missile test allegedly with a hydrogen bomb. Shortly after that, Pyongyang launched a satellite which was seen as another test of the country's long-range missile capacity.
