North Korea says submarine-launched missile test succeeded

North Korea says its test-firing of a new submarine-launched ballistic missile in the waters off its east coast was successful. The test-firing Wednesday was North Korea’s first of a submarine-launched missile in three years, which occurred ahead of a restart of nuclear negotiations between North Korea and the United States this weekend. The Korean Central News Agency says the test of the Pukguksong-3 missile “ushered in a new phase in containing the outside forces' threat to” North Korea.
