North Korea fires missile over east coast: South Korea working with partners on new sanctions

South Korea has said that it will be working on fresh sanctions against North Korea, after Pyongyang fired an intercontinental ballistic missile off its east coast.
The missile could be different to those fired previously, because it was in the air for longer.
North Korean media said it set a new record.
The missile landed around 300km west of Japan's northern region of Hokkaido.
The US has condemned the launch.

Russia has told the UN Security Council that reports of North Korean soldiers being brought to fight with Russia in Ukraine are false.
It comes after the US repeated Ukraine's claim that North Korea may have sent around 10,000 soldiers to train in eastern Russia.

[williamjuniorbrown]

[cesarl]

[mariannebarnard]

I have to laugh at the hypocrisy of the US. WHo are they to talk these days?

[ap]

South Korea must step up and become new Ukraine 😂😂

[daisaigaming]

Country with much of the worlds nuclear weapons condemns the launch of 1 missile.

[smloneshahid]

What effect will it have to Sanction most Sanctioned nation on earth.

[MasudbekJoraqulov-fdxz]

Why Israel have the right to obtain nuclear weapons? Why The World is so worried if the North Korea has obtained Nuclear Weapons?

[mpekawoods]

The US does pretty much the same. North Korea builds missiles to defend it territory not to attack weak countries under false pretences. If the altitude is truly above 7000km then it's posses a capacity to reach the US.

America Belike : Korea son you need to pay more protection money because North Korea is playing big 😂😢

[ousainouscham]

Why can’t America stop playing God and try to behave like a wise mature adult who can UNITE instead of DIVIDE the human family.

[ChiefMichaelPatterson]

They said East Coast im thinking New York😂

[ahmedismail]

US troops can go anywhere in the world, but N.Korea in Russia with Russian invitation is somehow illegal? Someone explain how this works?

[SR-gltw]

North korea has right to defend itself from west colony

[KetogenicGuitars]

I have always wondered how some country doing the dirty deed can say to other country doing the same thing it is "illegal". There must be some other way to work the subject. For example not using word "illegal" but telling we are in cold war situation and we don't like your human rights violations.

[nathenrobertson]

7000 kilometres above the earths surface?

[jackjohnson]

Do they actually belive sanctions work anymore!?!?

[rubenreyes]

Nothing’s new..

[ResolverResolver]
