North Korean missile test

North Korea has threatened to send a "Christmas present" for the United States if sanctions aren't eased by the end of the year. Trump says he isn't worried about it.

The ballistic missile traveled about 280 miles, landing in the Sea of Japan. If capable of submarine launch it would represent a significant advance in North Korea's missile program.

The projectiles were launched from near the North's missile base of Tongchang-ri, on Sunday, says South Korea's military. At least one of the missiles flew about 620 miles.

Pyongyang says the test of an anti-ship cruise missile "verified and confirmed" that the technology had met "military, scientific and technical requirements."
