Suspected N.Korea missile fails after launch over Pyongyang

13 Sept 06:23 Key points summarised by AI

North Korea launched an "unknown projectile" from Pyongyang's Sunan Airport, which South Korea's military reported as failing immediately after liftoff, possibly exploding mid-air.
The failed launch occurred amidst warnings from the U.S. and South Korea that Pyongyang is preparing to test its largest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), the Hwasong-17, for the first time since 2017.
This incident marks another in North Korea's unprecedented series of missile tests this year, raising concerns about potential debris impacting populated areas and prompting intensified military responses from the U.S. and South Korea.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
