UPDATED: North Korea launches another missile around 3 p.m. ET

UPDATE: According to Secretary of Defense James Mattis, the missile was an ICBM and it has flown further than any previous tests performed by North Korea.

North Korea may be able to complete its nuclear missile program with a year as Lil' Rocket Man's scientists are progressing faster than originally anticipated, warns South Korea's unification minister, Cho Myoung-gyon at a Seoul event. 

They are on the road to developing a long-range nuke and that is definitely not a good thing.

Cho said: "Experts think North Korea will take two to three more years but they are developing their nuclear capabilities faster than expected.

"We cannot rule out the possibility Pyongyang may declare the completion of their nuclear program in a year."

His words came as a Japanese diplomat revealed a group of radio signals detected from North Korea could mean another missile launch is imminent.

Just this year alone, Lil' Rocket Man has carried out 15 missile tests, including two which flew over the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, known for its delicious seafood, particularly crab, as well as its own ramen noodles.

The tests confirm that NoKo now has a functioning ICBM and a functioning idiot leading the country. 

So it looks as if the new sanctions aren't stopping the idiot from slowing his nuclear ambitions. The missile was launched at around  3:00 a.m. local time. It isn't clear if today's launch was of an ICBM or not, and it was headed east of North Korea (see map).

This is a  developing story and more will be posted as information become available.
