SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea says North Korea has fired a ballistic missile toward the sea but the launch likely failed. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff says the launch was made from North Korea’s capital region on Wednesday night. It came a day after North Korea launched a spy satellite and claimed to have put it into orbit. South Korea says it has decided to partially suspend an inter-Korean agreement and restart front-line aerial surveillance of North Korea. U.N. Security Council resolutions prohibit any satellite liftoffs by North Korea, viewing them as covers for testing its long-range missile technology.
