North Korea has released photos of the intermediate-range ballistic missile it launched Sunday — as well as striking images of Earth purportedly snapped from the projectile. The test-firing of the Hwasong-12 missile, which North Korean state media confirmed Monday, was the country’s seventh missile launch so far this year and the first launch of a rocket capable of carrying a nuclear payload in five years. Photos released by the Korean Central News Agency, the official government mouthpiece, show the missile blasting off in a plume of flame and smoke from a mobile launching platform and flying through the clouds toward space.
