The latest from North Korea

Yahoo has an article about UN actions on North Korea:

North Korean state media released photos of Tuesday’s launch of a missile that flew over Japan and landed in the Pacific Ocean, almost eighteen hundred miles away. The photos show the missile launch (photo, top), as well as leader Kim Jong Un (photo, bottom) watching it.
After the missile was launched, President Donald Trump issued a statement, calling it a “loud and clear” message from Pyongyang that showed it has “contempt for its neighbors, for members of the United Nations, and for minimum standards of acceptable international behavior.” Trump added that “threatening and destabilizing actions only increase the North Korean regimes isolation in the region and among all nations of the world. All options are on the table.”
Trump also spoke with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who called the missile launch “an unprecedented serious and grave threat to Japan”, according to CNN. Abe added that “I would like to make the utmost effort to protect the lives and assets of the Japanese people under a strong alliance between Japan and US.”
The statement released by KCNA that accompanied the photos released late Tuesday confirms that Un “guided an intermediate-range strategic ballistic rocket launching drill”, with other government members and KPA Strategic Force leaders standing by. “Involved in the drill were Hwasong artillery units of the KPA Strategic Force tasked with striking the bases of the US imperialist aggressor forces located in the Pacific operational theater in contingency and intermediate-range strategic ballistic rocket Hwasong-12,” the statement reads.
The statement notes that the rocket launch was part of the muscle-flexing meant to counter recent joint-military exercises between the US, South Korea, and Japan. “Kim Jong Un expressed great satisfaction over the successful launching,” the statement reads.
It concluded that "Officers and men of the KPA Strategic Force extended the warmest thanks to Kim Jong Un, peerless patriot and hero of the nation, who gave vent to the long-pent grudge of the Korean people by mapping out a bold plan to make the cruel Japanese islanders insensible on 29 August when the disgraceful Korea-Japan Annexation Treaty was proclaimed a hundred and seven years ago and approving ballistic rocket launching in the capital region, and pledged that once the Party Central Committee issues an order, they will fulfill their sacred mission and duty as the reliable nuclear force of the WPK in the van of the final sacred war which will win victory in the standoff with imperialism and the US.
It’s believed that the missile was a Hwasong-12, which could carry a nuclear warhead. The Times reports that it was sent without warning, but the Japanese government noticed it in time to give a warning to citizens. As The Guardian notes, the missiles have an estimated three to six thousand kilometer range and stand sixteen meters tall. Its trajectory took it over the Japanese island of Hokkaido and it landed just eight hundred miles off the island’s coast.
According to The New York Times, this was the first realistic test of the kind of missile North Korea threatened to launch toward Guam earlier this month. Previous missile tests during Kim’s reign have hit water without going as far as Japan.
