A picture released by North Korea 's news Agency said the rocket

North Korea has confirmed that it fired a new kind of a ballistic Missile , a significant escalation from the short-range testing has been carried out since may.

to carry The rocket - which was the location of a Nuclear Weapon - was the North 11th test this year.

But this one, fired from a platform in The Sea , was able to boot from a U-boat.

As U-Boot location is important since it means that North Korea could launch missiles that Far outside of its territory.

According to South Korean officials, the Missile flew about 450km (280 km) and reached a height of 910km before landing in The Sea .

this means That the rocket flew twice as high as The International space station, but the previous one.

It came in The Sea of Japan, known in South Korea , The East sea. Japan said it landed in the exclusive economic zone - a band of 200 km around Japanese territory.

The Test came hours after North Korea said nuclear would be discussions with the United States to resume.

What do we know about this Missile ?

The rocket was launched Wonsan from The Sea soon after 07:00 on Wednesday (22:00 GMT Tuesday), about 17 km North-East of the coastal town.

North Korea 's state news Agency, KCNA, said on Thursday the Missile was a Pukguksong-3 test-fired at a high angle, is designed to "contain the external threat and to strengthen the self-defense".

He added that there is "no adverse impact on the security of neighbouring States".

in contrast to previous tests, there are no pictures of North Korean leader Kim Jong -un at the Start were.

In the previous 10-Missile tests, conducted this year, only short-range projectiles were fired.

Why is the "U-Boot-capable' meaning?

If the Missile away has been started on a standard, rather than a vertical, it could have traveled about 1,900 km (1,200 miles). All of this, South Korea and Japan would be in range.

But the Start of a U-can detect make the Boot rockets harder to use, and allows you to be closer to other goals.

North Korea 's existing Romeo-class submarines that were built in the 1990s, are believed to have a range of over 7,000 km, the news Agency Reuters said.

This is a one-way trip in the vicinity of Hawaii would be possible. The Northern U-boats, however, diesel-and easier to see.

North Korea 's introduction of the Pukguksong-3 submarine-launched ballistic Missile is a difficult moment for the North East Asian regional security - and a reminder of what is lost over almost two years of all-show-no-substance, the diplomacy.

the rocket is intended for a U-boat, but it was not started by a. North Korea may have engineers, it is too risky to put your operational ballistic missiles-U-boat in The Test tier. However, the Missile appears to have successfully completed your flight with flying colors.

The Pukguksong-3, when it was flown was at a normal angle would have achieved all of Japan's four main Islands and all of South Korea from the middle of The Sea of Japan.

the Most seriously, it is the largest ever in solid-fuel-system seen in North Korea . Solid-fuel rockets have many advantages over their liquid fuel counterparts. They offer greater responsiveness and flexibility, unlike their liquid counterparts, they do not require extensive setup and preparation before use.

This test underscores why the United States to comprehensive efforts to freeze North Korea 's qualitative progress in Missile technologies.

will speaks to US?

Before the Missile test, North Korea , and the United States confirmed that the preliminary nuclear would take place in talks "next week".

The U.S. state Department reacted to The Test by calling on Pyongyang to "refrain from provocations" and "to remain engaged in a substantial and sustainable negotiations", whose goal is denuclearisation.

the negotiations between North Korea and the United States have stalled since the Hanoi summit between President Donald Trump and Mr. Kim in February ended without an agreement.

experts say the proximity of The Test and the interviews, was the notice intended.

"North Korea wants its negotiating position quite clear before The Talks even begin," Harry Kazianis of The Center for The National Interest in Washington DC, told the news Agency AFP.

"Pyongyang seems to push Washington back from the past claims of full denuclearisation, for which only promises of sanctions relief. "

North Korea banned the use of ballistic missiles by the resolutions of the UN security Council, and is under US and UN sanctions because of its nuclear program.

reports indicate that in the upcoming discussions, you can provide US with a lifting of UN sanctions on the North Korean textile and coal exports for 36 months. In turn, the closure of the nuclear plant in Yongbyon, and the end of uranium enrichment, it wants.

This is "less than the all-or-nothing-taken approach Washington, so Far ",
