North Korea Fires Missile Even As World Leaders Meet

North Korea has fired a missile into the sea just hours after South Korea, Japan and the United States warned Pyongyang to end its provocations.The surface-to-air missile was fired from a region close to the North's eastern coast, according to a South Korean military official.
Yonhap news agency reported it flew a distance of around 100km (62 miles).
Tensions have heightened on the Pyongyang-Seoul border since the North's nuclear test in January and long-range rocket launch in February.
Friday's drill is the fourth missile launch by Kim Jong-Un's regime in recent weeks - and the second in four days - amid military exercises involving South Korea and the US, the largest ever carried out by the two nations.
