North Korea leader Kim Jong Un said after supervising the test launch of a 'medium long-range strategic ballistic missile' that the country came to possess 'the sure capability to attack' US interests in the Pacific, official media reported on Thursday.
South Korean and US military officials have said the North launched what appeared to be two intermediate-range missiles dubbed Musudan on Wednesday. The first of the two was considered a failure.
The second reached a high altitude in the direction of Japan before plunging into the sea about 400km (250 miles) away, they said.
