welcome to bbc news. north korea has made a failed attempt to launch a missile, a day after it issued a warning to the united states that it was ready to hit back with nuclear attacks amid escalating tension in the region. the pentagon said the ballistic missile blew up almost immediately. it happened as the us vice president, mike pence, travelled to south korea on a scheduled visit to discuss the north s missile and nuclear programmes. our correspondentjohn sudworth is in pyongyang with the latest. it s almost certain that the missile test is sent and meant as a deterrent, it came just a few hours before the visit to the south korean capital seoul by the us vice president mike pence. and it s a day after north korea held a massive military parade, a show of strength typical of this most totalitarian of states and at which it unveiled what are believed to be its first intercontinental missiles. it s worth noting that in many regards this is business as usualfor north korea.
