North Korea launches second ballistic missile after US warning over nuke attacks

NORTH Korea has fired a second ballistic missile off its east coast just hours after the US warned a nuke attack would “end Kim’s regime”.

South Korea's military said in a statement that North Korea launched what appeared to be a long-range ballistic missile from its capital region Monday morning.

It said South Korea maintain a readiness while exchanging information about the launch with US and Japanese authorities.

Japan's Defence Ministry also said it detected a suspected ballistic missile launch by North Korea.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told reporters that he had so far received no report of injuries or damages from the missile launch and that he planned to hold a National Security Council meeting to discuss the test.
