The intercontinental ballistic missile was launched in the early hours of this morning, apparently from a mobile launcher near Pyongyang, in the first test from North Korea since it fired a missile over Japan in mid-September.


It reached an altitude of 4,000 kilometres, flying for 50 minutes before splashing down about 1,000 kilometres away in the sea to Japan's west.
