A North Korean newspaper says the country’s military test-fired a missile from a train early Wednesday.
Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the ruling Workers’ Party, said the newly formed Rapid Missile Regiment held a launch drill.
Photos accompanying the report show a missile rising from a train on a railway track with a large exhaust plume. The newspaper didn’t mention what type of missile was fired.
The newspaper says the drill took place in a mountainous area in central North Korea. It says the missile accurately hit a target in the Sea of Japan 800 kilometers away.
