DESCRIPTION
A North Korean ballistic missile test failed on takeoff early Saturday, the second straight failure this month, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported.
The test came amid heightened global tensions over the reclusive nation's nuclear weapons program, which President Trump has vowed to stop through military means if diplomatic efforts and economic pressure fail.
The missile apparently exploded seconds after liftoff, South Korea's joint chiefs of staff said in a statement, according to Yonhap.
The missile was fired from a site in South Pyeongan province north of North Korea's capital of Pyongyang in the early hours of Saturday morning local time, the BBC reported.
North Korea has not commented publicly on the latest firing. Posted By Ghost
