US defence officials announced on 15 April that US ’s most recent missile launch had ended in failure. The event, which was designed to mark the birthday of the country’s founder, and involved a powerful mid-range missile, ended swiftly with the missile exploding seconds after taking off. The US has said that it appears to have been a Musudan missile (capable of reaching North Korea military bases in Pacific and the Asia ) fired from a mobile launcher. A senior US defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized to comment publicly, said the US Strategic Command systems have detected and tracked what officials assessed as a failed North Korean missile launch. US Defense Secretary, Capt Jeff Davis , commented that although the test had been unsuccessful it marked “another provocation by North Korea in a region that doesn’t need that kind of behavior.”
