News Story: South Korea sees possibility for DPRK's another launch of Musudan missile

SEOUL, April 29 (Xinhua) -- South Korea's military on Friday saw a possibility for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to test-launch another Musudan ballistic missile after repeated failures in recent weeks.

Defense Ministry spokesman Moon Sang-Kyun told a press briefing that possibility for an additional launch of Musudan missile cannot be ruled out in consideration of the DPRK's push for the launches even after repeated failures.

The DPRK launched two Musudan missiles on Thursday after conducting its first test-firing of the missile from a mobile launcher on April 15.

The three launches were believed to have failed as the missiles exploded in mid-air or crashed in waters several seconds after liftoff.
