SEOUL, North Korea's claim of a successful test-fire of a new missile is likely a "lie," South Korea's military said Tuesday, in the latest dismissal of the North's weapons test assertions. Earlier in the day, the North said it test-fired the new Hwasong-11Da-4.5 tactical ballistic missile capable of carrying a super-large warhead Monday at its maximum range of 500 kilometers and minimum range of 90 km. South Korea's military earlier said it had detected two ballistic missile launches, with one of them flying some 600 km before landing in waters off the North's eastern coast, and the other traveling only about 120 km, raising the possibility of a failure. "(We) are conducting an analysis, while putting weight on the possibility that North Korea's public report is a (form of) deception," Col. Lee Sung-jun, spokesperson of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), told a regular briefing. Lee said the second missile flew abnormally and appeared to have fallen in a field in an uninhabited area, adding that it was ne ar Pyongyang without providing details. "It is extremely rare to conduct a test-launch inland and there is a high possibility that its claim of a success is a lie," he said. North Korea has usually staged missile launches into waters off its eastern and western coasts. Lee said that both missiles would have fallen inland if they flew the distances as reported by the North, based on the flight direction detected by the JCS. When asked whether the military assessed the missiles as the Hwasong-11Da-4.5, he said an analysis is under way on various possibilities. The remarks marked the South's latest dismissal of the North's claim of conducting a successful weapons test. Last week, Pyongyang claimed it had successfully conducted a multiple warhead missile test, but the JCS dismissed it as "deception," saying the launch ended in failure as the missile exploded in midair. The JCS later released video footage of the missile exploding into fragments in the air captured with military thermal observation devices. Source: Yonhap News Agency
