North Korea has carried out a test firing of what is suspected to be an intercontinental ballistic missile, South Korea’s military said shortly before midnight Thursday night.
According to the military, it was fired at a high angle, suggesting it was a long-range robot designed to reach the United States. The US has condemned the incident as a violation of UN Security Council resolutions.
Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatan tells reporters that a preliminary investigation shows the robot, which was launched late Wednesday night, was in the air for one hour and 26 minutes – the longest recorded time ever for a North Korean robot test.
The projectile is said to have then struck the sea outside Japan’s economic zone.
An eleven-year-old boy has been killed and at least 30 people injured when an apartment building was bombed in the large city of Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine on Wednesday evening.
Emergency services are searching the race masses, says mayor Ihor Terechov.
A nine-storey apartment building has been hit by an aerial bomb – the first to sixth floors are said to be completely destroyed.
At least three people, one of whom is a child, are feared to be trapped in the racial masses and emergency services are working on the scene to free them.
“The enemy again chose evening time for terror, when people are at home with families,” said the region’s governor, Oleh Synehubov, on Telegram.
Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, located about three miles from the Russian border, has been subject to repeated and extensive Russian airstrikes during the full-scale Russian offensive.
Not infrequently, residential areas in the city have been attacked with so-called glide bombs dropped by Russian aircraft. The bombs are equipped with wings which allow them to glide a relatively long distance after being released from Russian territory. They thus become difficult for Ukrainian air defense to detect and defend against.

According to the police, it is not a shooting or an explosion.
Is anyone hurt?
– I cannot answer that at the moment. What I can say is that there is absolutely no danger to the public, says Oscar Öster.
During the night, the police are still secretive. At 03:00 a.m. still no one has been arrested.
A couple in their 80s disappeared while picking mushrooms in Boxholm on Friday.
