Pyongyang test-fired what appeared to be a hypersonic missile, but the launch ended in a mid-air explosion, an official from Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
The early morning launch yesterday came just hours after Pyongyang sent another flurry of trash-bearing balloons southward, this time forcing a three-hour halt to flights in and out of South Korea’s Incheon airport.
