‘The United States military has again failed to intercept a ballistic missile during a test off Hawaii, the US Missile Defense Agency has acknowledged.
The agency made the announcement in a statement issued on Wednesday night, the Associated Press reported on Thursday.
The agency said the intercept attempt failed during a test conducted with Japan’s armed forces.
The United States and Japan are jointly attempting to develop the interceptor in order to shoot down medium-range ballistic missiles coming from North Korea, which has threatened to attack both Japan and the US in case the country faces American aggression.
The agency said a medium-range target missile was fired from the Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai late on Wednesday.’
