North Korea conducted a missile test
off its east coast on Friday morning, but the launch appears to have
failed, say US and South Korean officials.
The launch coincided with the birthday of North Korea's founding leader, Kim Il-sung.
It also comes amid particularly high tension on the Korean peninsula, BBC gathered.
South Korea's Yonhap national news agency quoted government sources as saying that the missile was a type of intermediate-range ballistic missile known as a Musudan, also called the BM-25.
North Korean forces were seen recently moving two such missiles.
The report said it would be the North's first Musudan test, and that it may have at least 50 more.
