| North Korea launched a ballistic missile into the sea today. The missile launch from its western region into the sea off its east coast comes ahead of a summit of leaders from the Group of 20 countries in Germany later this week.

Keen to ensure that the momentum is maintained, authorities are also keeping a close watch to ensure that any roadblock is removed swiftly. |
