Noah Hirsch Current Events 6/1: North Korea Missile Launch Failure

On Sunday North Korea had a missile launch test near its eastern coast.  The test apparently failed according to statements made by South Koreas military.  The launch took place at Sinpo only one day after the countries biggest holiday that celebrates the founder of North Korea.  We are unsure what type of missile was launched on Sunday bit we do know that it blew up almost immediately after leaving the ground.  

Hearing this story made me feel a little safer and I think everyone else should feel the same way.  This information proves that North Korea is still a long ways away from being able to design and launch intercontinental ballistic missiles.
