"This is a one in a million shot," Mr Lewis told CNN. The missile "was fired right about this time" and the photo would have been taken "within a few seconds, maybe a few minutes.", confirmed that the projectile was "relatively short range" and "landed in the water east of North Korea and didn't present a threat to the United States or to South Korea or Japan.
Mr Pompeo struck a positive note on ABC, saying" "We still believe there's an opportunity" to achieve "verified denuclearisation" and that the US side hopes "we can get back to the table and find the path forward." The top diplomat added that the US is still speaking with representatives of the regime since the failed Hanoi summit.
Mr Lewis sees a historical parallel with a North Korean promise to declare a moratorium on long range missile tests in the early 2000s that lasted for several years. "This is a pretty classic move from them to start small and work their way up. It's a warning that there's more to come."
