Defiant North Korea Fires Seventh Test Missile

Justin McCurry and Jonathan Watts write in The Guardian (UK):

North Korea ignored international condemnation of its missile tests by launching a seventh missile today, insisting it was its sovereign right to do so.

The launch came hours before the UN security council was due to convene in New York to discuss what US and Japan said would be a tough response. Japanese media, citing government officials, said the seventh missile was launched at 5.22pm local time and landed in the sea six minutes later. There was no immediate indication of the range or size of the missile.
