North Korea carried out a provocative new ballistic missile test early Sunday, sending a projectile to a higher altitude and closer to Russia than any of its recent tests, according to officials.
A missile launched near the city of Kusong, in western North Korea, flew across the country and into the Sea of Japan/East Sea, hitting the water about 60 miles from Vladivostok in eastern Russia, according to US officials.
Japan's Defense Ministry said the missile reached an altitude of 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) and flew for 30 minutes.

Thanks for letting us know that the missile launch test went northeast off Vladivostok, Russia instead of east to Japan or south to South Korea TSgt Joe C.
It will be interesting to learn if the Hermit Kingdom warned Russia and/or got clearance to fire the missile in that direction.
