North Korea fires medium-range missile in latest test

This article talks about how North Korea has successfully launched and tested a medium range missile from the city of Pukchang, into the sea. This is just another concerning issue that the rest of the world may face as it appears that North Korea is starting to come closer to officially being able to construct and possible use nuclear weapons. Much of what they have done is beginning to promote that they are a nation that does not act rationally towards their projected goals. Diplomatic pressure and political pressure will be applied, according to Rex Tillerson. This was just after North Korea had successfully tested another medium range missile that is capable of also carrying a heavy nuclear warhead. We all should be fairly concerned with this because we don't know how trigger happy Kim Jong-Un will become especially if nuclear power becomes an option for North Korea. All of this tension will be something to be closely watched in the follow days to come.
