SEOUL A ballistic missile North Korea fired on Tuesday flew about 930 km (578 miles), South Korea's joint chiefs of staff said.
The South's military said it could not immediately confirm the altitude the missile reached.

How about a few dozen Tomahawks up Chubby’s left nostril?
The US has put the first three of the latest geostationary infrared missile tracking satellites over the middle east and far east areas. We know exactly the trajectory as well as the IR signature now.
The thing is how far it would have gone if not fired strait up. They are in fact making a lot of progress under fat boy. Also fat boy seems more deranged than his father and grandfather (at least in his post war period). I can’t believe that even the Chinese have much control over him although they likely enjoy the discomfort fat boy is causing his other neighbors and us.
Other reports suggested it reached an altitude of 1,500 miles. That suggests a range of perhaps 4,000 miles which would make Alaska and Hawaii vulnerable.
What if North Korea and South Korea are already politically unified...I wouldn’t have South Korea as the most important consideration in terms of defensive strategy
I don’t really get the brinkmanship. Too dangerous. We should attack now, massively, even with nukes. Our advantage will never be greater.
HAHAHAHAHA
AH NO!
reports suggested HAHAHAHAH
Thats the inconvenient truth thats barely being discussed.
Alaska, Guam and Hawaii are now vulnerable.
But then again truthfully anything near the coast or an inland waterway is because of the many unaccounted subs on the loose.
These launches i believe are just diversions.
I'm with you there. Problem is we are so chickenshit right now we won't even shoot down NK missile testing. Maybe we are not as well protected as some make us believe. I am losing faith in just how strong we are. Damn I pray my feelings are not true.
Why aren’t we sitting off the coast shooting them down? Would be a great way to test our interception techniques.
That would be war then....
Shooting back at this juncture would be just like declaring war.....we’re not there.... yet.
He should send his missiles in a western direction and his game will be over.
China will retain its buffer--it daren't allow a stark contrast between its austere Communist dystopia and a prosperous capitalist democracy.China is complicit in the North Korean program.
My modest proposal is to plant a GPS target designator in one of Dennis Rodman's piercings.
Recondition a neutron bomb device and demonstrate the world's premier delivery system, the U.S. B-2 Spirit.
I am expecting a U.S. response this time.
Trump (or a Cabinet member) will announce after the fact.
Nikki Haley can go to the U.N. tomorrow and shove it up their collective a$$.
Bill Clinton supplied the Norks with missile technology and Hillary gave Putin some of our Uranium, yet this evil couple has never been held accountable for their misdeeds. If we do not stop evil, we shall be controlled by it.
Some day we shall be nuked with our own fissionable material.
Don’t tell me we’re not stupid.
