Seoul (AFP) - North Korea on Saturday tested what appeared to be a submarine-launched ballistic missile in the Sea of Japan, the South Korean defence ministry said.

"North Korea launched a projectile which was believed to be a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) around 6:30 pm (0930 GMT) in the East Sea (Sea of Japan) near the northeastern port of Sinpo", a defence ministry spokesman said.

"We are keeping close tabs on the North Korean military and maintaining a full defence posture", he said.

The missile flew 30 kilometres (18 miles) but the launch "appeared to have failed," he added.

2. Yeah well, I'm testing my new diachronic hyper-light drive in my basement right now too.

I don't know if it's failed or not yet either.
