South Korea’s Defense Ministry refused to confirm the status of the missile. One day earlier, South Korea and Japan said that the test was believed to be of a much-hyped, intermediate-range Musudan missile. The Ministry warned of taking international level acts if North Korea carries out more missile tests which violate the resolution of the UN Security Council.
