Seoul: North Korea said Thursday it had successfully test-fired a “new-type” of submarine-launched ballistic missile, state media reported, after Washington voiced alarm at the move, just days before the planned resumption of stalled nuclear talks.
“The new-type ballistic missile was fired in vertical mode” on Wednesday in the waters off Wonsan Bay, the Korean Central News Agency reported.
It identified the SLBM as a Pukguksong-3.
