North Korea: Ballistic missile explodes seconds after lift off

Pyongyang, Apr 29 (IBNS): Trashing all warnings and sanctions against them, the reclusive Kim Jong-un led North Korea test fired another ballistic missile yet again on Saturday, with no success however, reports said.

The missile exploded seconds after its lift-off, the South Korean Yonhap News Agency reported.

The US Military added that the missile did not leave the North Korean shores.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump, who had earlier lauded China's efforts into taking stock of the North Korean nuclear threat, took a dig at the reclusive nation.

In a Twitter post, Trump wrote, "North Korea disrespected the wishes of China & its highly respected President when it launched, though unsuccessfully, a missile today. Bad!"

Earlier on Thursday, Trump had told news agency Reuters that he fears a 'major, major conflict' with North Korea.

Tensions have also escalated between the two nations as Kim Jong-un was reported saying that he plans to attack US and wipe out the nation with five million nuclear bombs.
