| North Korea attempted to launch an "unidentified" missile on Sunday, but it is believed to have failed, South Korea’s military has said. | |
| The attempt, which was said to be near Sinpo on the country’s east coast, comes one day after a military parade in Pyongyang unveiled what are thought to be new inter-continental ballistic missiles as well as submarine-launched missiles. | |
| The parade marked the 105th anniversary of the birth of the state’s founder, and came as tensions between North Korea and the US sparked fears of nuclear war. | |
| South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said that though it remains unclear what type of missile was being fired, it appears to have been a failure. | |
