The unidentified projectile was fired at about 16:30 local time (07:30 GMT), the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said, without providing further details. Unconfirmed reports say it flew some 420km (260 miles) over the North Korean mainland.

Located some 75km from Pyongyang, the Sino-ri base is one of North Korea's longest-running missile facilities, according to the Washington-based think-tank Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Officials were still analysing whether it was a single or multiple projectiles, a spokesman told AFP news agency.

8. Why are they calling them Projectiles?

Is this their new strategy? Sounds less alarming that way i think!

10. I know right?

I had to read the article to confirm they were missile tests...

9. Article looks like it's using a photoshopped image to me

The main pic shows Kim holding binoculars, and if you look further down in the article, he is clearly holding a cigarette in his fingers as well.

Now if you go back and look at the first picture, you can see what looks like image editing to erase the cig. I dunno, maybe it's just me but I see it.
