So says kyodo, yonhap, etc.

North Korea has fired what appears to be a ballistic missile, Japanese and South Korean sources say, less than a month after the country's second long-range missile test. Only few details were immediately available. (more)

North Korea has fired an unidentified projectile into the sea off its east coast, Yonhap news agency reported on Saturday citing South Korea's military.

This is breaking news. Please check back for updates.

They launched something.

 

[fluffydelusions]

here we go?

 

[RRockman]

Where is it going to hit?

 

[Joe]

I wonder if they intentionally launched now because of our looming Hurricane Harvey crisis.

 

[Master Yoshi]

I can't handle how unhinged their leader and ours currently are.

 

[Newlove]

Were they aiming for a Kraken or...Godzilla swimming away?

War on the sea again. Poseidon will be pissed.

War on the sea again. Poseidon will be pissed.

Looking at Texas I'd say he's already pissed.

 

[MIMIC]

Watching CNN, and apparently, the U.S. and South Korea (or Japan?) are conducting joint military exercises and this might be North Korea essentially running off at the mouth again.

EDIT: South Korea. Not Japan.

How long until Trump threatens to nuke them on twitter again.

He's on vacation yet again, so very soon I would wager.

Kim must be like

This is definitely to try and save face on the Guam attack in which he was forced to blink because the stakes were too high.

 

[Random Human]

Another thing for Trump to screw up on the weekend.

 

[dc89]

I wish theyd stop littering the sea. There's enough garbage in there already.

He has to say something really stupid about the hurricane first.

 

[ponpo]

As of yesterday the US was flying two "cobra ball" ballistic missile detectors around Japan so I guess it was expected.

 

[kevin1025]

He has to say something really stupid about the hurricane first.

He already called it a Class 3, does that count?

 

[NyMartin90]

He already called it a Class 3, does that count?

Aren't they predicting it'll get to a class 3?

 

[Byakuya769]

Aren't they predicting it'll get to a class 3?

Category, is the term.

 

[NyMartin90]

Category, is the term.

my mistake lol

 

[brian577]

CNBC source now says it was several short range projectiles, only flew a couple hundred miles. Maybe a mod should change the title since it sounds fairly mundane as far as NK behavior.

 

[always crazy bacon]

Just what Trump needs to distract from his shitty actions today, a hurricane and North Korea.
