NORTH KOREA conducted another missile test yesterday, with it flying for about 500 miles before plopping into the Sea of Japan.
The country’s dynastic regime carried out the test days after new South Korean president Moon Jae In took office.
Mr Moon had pledged to hold talks with the North in a marked warming compared with the stance of his disgraced predecessor Park Geun Hye, who has been arrested on several corruption charges involving large South Korean companies.
Through an aide, Mr Moon “expressed deep regret” that the test was ordered so soon after his government came to power.
“The president said we are leaving open the possibility of dialogue with North Korea, but we should sternly deal with a provocation to prevent North Korea from miscalculating,” said senior presidential secretary Yoon Young Chan.
The North’s missile test follows several United States tests of its Minuteman nuclear missiles at the start of the month, fired from its west coast towards Asia.
