NoKo missile fell all to pieces

North Korea's latest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) known as the Kwasong-15 flew higher and further than any North Korean missile ever flew. 

And when it came down to Earth,  a U.S. official said that it broke into tiny smithereens.

According to the official, the U.S. allies are searching for bits and pieces of the warhead after it splashed down close to the Japanese coast Wednesday.

South Korea's Defense Ministry said the two-state liquid-fuel missile could potentially strike targets as far away as 8,102 miles, which puts it in range of Washington. It reached an apogee 2,780 miles and flew 600 miles.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in spoke with President Trump to assess the situation. The leaders reaffirmed their commitment to increasing pressure and sanctions on Pyongyang in order to discourage its nuclear ambitions, but that probably isn't the reason why North Korea hasn't been able to develop an ICBM that doesn't break up on reentry into the atmosphere.

South Korea doesn't believe the North has crossed the 'red line' yet in their weapons development, like Syria did when Obama drew his red line. 

Nothing to worry about.
