South Korean and US military officials says a North Korean missile has detonated soon after launch, a day after Pyongyang warned the US amid rising tension in the region.
The US said a ballistic missile exploded within seconds of the launch. Hours earlier North Korea paraded what appeared to be long-range ballistic missiles at a major military display.
According to reports, it has already conducted five nuclear tests and a series of missile launches in contravention of UN resolutions.
The latest development comes as US Vice-President Mike Pence arrives in the South Korean capital, Seoul, where he is expected to discuss the best way to deal with North Korea's missile and nuclear programmes.
