Vladimir Putin may be forced to clean up after fellow dictator Kim Jong-Un as
Kremlin officials have revealed they are searching for a North Korean nuclear
missile in Russian waters.

Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko said officials were hunting for
any missile debris from the latest launch of North Korea's Hwasong-18 missile.

He claimed that the Kremlin had "no clear information that the missile fell in
Russia's economic zone," Reuters reported, quoting the TASS and RIA news
agencies.

Russian state media said North Korea's missile launch was a "strong practical"
warning to the US over its supposed interference in Asia.

The ballistic missile launch was also considered a threat to South Korea and
Japan - two strategic enemies of North Korea, and two of the West's core allies
in the region.






North Korea launched its first ICBM test in three months on Wednesday after
repeated threats to shoot down US spy planes over the Hermit Kingdom.

It is believed the Hwasong-18 ICBM tested by North Korea is harder to spot and
intercept than its older, liquid-fuel ICBMs.

The long-range missile was fired near Pyongyang at around 10am, flew roughly 620
miles at a maximum altitude of 3,730 miles, and landed in an unknown location
between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.

The missile test was widely condemned by North Korea's rivals, with South Korea
calling the test a "grave provocation" by its totalitarian neighbor.

Chief Japanese Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said North Korea's tests were
repeated "threats to the peace and safety of Japan, the region, and
international society."




North Korea has conducted dozens of ICBM tests since 2017 as it races to develop
a nuclear weapon capable of striking US cities. It has not manufactured an ICBM
with the necessary technology or range.

Yet, Kim Jong-Un insists his new Hwasong-18 ICBM gives North Korea the chance to
"counterattack" the US.

Kim's sister Kim Yo Jong has also warned the United States that "a shocking
incident" is on the cards and she claimed a US spy plane flew over the North
eight times earlier this week.

North Korea launched two short-range missiles into its eastern sea early
Wednesday morning just a day after the U.S. docked its nuclear submarine in
South Korea.

The move comes as tensions remain high between the two countries due to more
frequent missile test launches by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
(DPRK) and the arrival of the nuclear-armed submarine.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said that North Korea fired the ballistic
missiles from near its capital of Pyongyang between 3:30 and 3:46 a.m. on
Wednesday. The missiles flew about 341 miles before landing in the eastern
waters of the Korean peninsula.

Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada also said they reached a maximum
altitude of 31 miles and noted that the missiles may have experienced an
“irregular maneuver.”




The USS Kentucky arrived Tuesday afternoon to the port of Busan, which is the
first visit by a U.S. nuclear submarine to South Korea since the 1980s.



“This port visit reflects US’ ironclad commitment to the ROK for our extended
deterrence guarantee, and complements the training, operations and other
military cooperation activities conducted by Strategic Forces to ensure they are
available and ready to operate around the globe,” U.S. Forces Korea said in a
statement.

This new launch is about a week after North Korea launched its first
intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in three months.

This also comes as the American-led United Nations Command and U.S. officials
attempt to negotiate the release of an American soldier who “willfully” crossed
the North Korean border from South Korea. The soldier has been identified as
Private 2nd Class Travis King, who was just released from a South Korean prison
where he was doing time for assault charges.

Instead of going back to the U.S. on a plane, he chose to leave and join a tour
of Panmunjom, a border village in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), where he ran
across the North Korean border, according to U.S. officials.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
