North Korea fired a ballistic missile into the sea early on Sunday, the first such test since US President Donald Trump was elected, and his administration indicated that Washington would have a calibrated response to avoid escalating tensions.
The test was of a medium- or intermediate-range missile that landed in the Sea of Japan, according to the US defence department, not an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), which the North has said it could test at any time. The launch marks the first test of Trump’s vow to get tough on an isolated North Korean regime that in 2016 tested nuclear devices and ballistic missiles at an unprecedented rate in violation of United Nations (UN) resolutions.
