#SouthKorea #apologises after #missile fired in response to #NorthKorea test crashes
Instead, it ended in embarrassment when a short-range #Hyumoo - 2 ballistic missile crashed to the ground inside an air force base near the South Korean coastal city of #Gangneung.
Although the missile did not explode, the noise and subsequent fire caused some Gangneung residents to believe the North had launched an #attack, according to media reports. There were no reports of injuries.
