SEOUL: Nuclear-armed North Korea conducted two back-to-back tests of a powerful new medium-range missile on Wednesday, with both achieving a significant increase in flight distance over previous failed launches, South Korea’s defence ministry said. Both tests were believed to be of a much-hyped, intermediate-range missile —theoretically capable of reaching US bases as far away as Guam. International condemnation was swift, with the United States, NATO and Japan labelling the launches a clear violation of UN resolutions.
