Test-firing of new Scud missiles by N. Korea, Syria, Iran fails

Kyodo: Korea] North Korea, Syria and Iran have test-fired new short-range ballistic Scud missiles they jointly developed but the test in Syria in May resulted in failure, diplomatic and military sources said Friday. A Western diplomatic source familiar with relations between the three countries said two missiles were launched from southwestern Syria in the second half of May. One of them strayed off its projected course and part of the missile landed in a market in Manbij near the border with Turkey in northern Syria, leaving many people dead and injured, the source said.
