North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile on Saturday in local time, Korean news service Yonhap reported citing South Korea's military.
Yonhap reported that the test appears to have failed.
One U.S. official confirmed to NBC news that there was a test, but that it was not nuclear.
The incident comes as the United States reconsiders its strategy in dealing with the isolated nation.
In an interview with Reuters published late Thursday, President Donald Trump said he wants South Korea to pay for the $1 billion missile defense system. The system, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), is designed to protect South Korea and Japan from missile attack, and it could be operational as soon as summer 2017.
On Friday, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson urged the United Nations to take new sanctions against North Korea.
House Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy said on Thursday that the chamber would hold a vote on sanctions next week, which he said would target North Korea's shipping industry and "those who employ North Korean slave labor abroad."

Yep.
Yep, makes you wonder. Especially with these laser weapons and alike.
Too BAD, that it didm, fall, right on top of FAT-Boy, to explode, in failure.
They’ve had a lot of that lately
L’il Kimmie shot another blank!
Are we certain that the test failed? The news only reported that a test took place and that it was a liquid fuel type of missile. Nothing is mentioned about any failure.
What is it?
My concern, exactly.
Playing us for the fools we are.
Pacific Command said it broke up over the penesula
the great advantage of all these NORK missile failures , is that after every failure , Jong Un undoubtedly marches all those in charge of the launch to the gallows ( or worse) thus he is slowly eliminating his own competency base for us
Interesting, as it was broadcast last week that the system was installed and operational...
They’ve had a lot of that lately

Hopefully we are behind that. And if we are..... I’m hoping they can start making them redirect to the fat-boy’s hideout.
You know, if the Norks would just throw all that military money into making Kim Chi, the world could just calm down a bit.
Coincidentally , launched on a Japanese National Holiday - Showa Day . It honors the birthday of Emperor Showa (Hirohito), the reigning emperor from 1926 to 1989.
