Andrew Salmon, Northeast Asia Editor of Asia Times, joins France 24 and describes North Korea's latest missile test as "a new piece on the strategic chess board." These appear to be "extremely maneuverable, extremely evasive" hypersonic missiles, Mr. Salmon explains, "causing real jitters, real headaches among South Korean and US defense staff."
North Korea test-fired a new, smaller ballistic missile from a submarine, state media confirmed on Wednesday, a move that analysts said could be aimed at more quickly fielding an operational missile submarine.

For the first time since 2009, North Korea shot a missile over Japan, a rocket test that highlights how helpless civilians would be if it was the real thing. Attention-seeking behavior that comes days after the US downplayed failed launches, opening the door to dialogue. It's now over to the United Nations where yet more sanctions are on the table. How to handle Pyongyang? Can there be a concerted approach?
