North may have test launched fifth Musudan missile since April

North Korea conducted a launch of what was likely a Musudan intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) from its east coast early Wednesday morning, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported.

According to the South Korean military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, North Korea launched the missile from somewhere near the city of Wonsan at around 5:58 a.m.

If the missile launched Wednesday morning is a Musudan, it would be the fifth test launch of this missile by North Korea. The first test was on April 15, the second and third on April 28, and fourth on May 31. All
