North Korea Fires Mystery UFO

North Korea reportedly fired a mystery unidentified flying object over the Demilitarized Zone on Tuesday.
CNN reports that South Korea fired warning shots after it spotted the object.
The UFO sighting comes two days after North Korea's latest missile test. After the test, North Korea insisted it now has the ability to mass produce medium-range missiles and to hit Japan, as well as U.S. military bases. As with many North Korean claims, Western experts view such assertions as disturbing, but potentially overstated.
The sighting also comes after the United Nations Security Council lambasted the country for the missile test, on Monday. The Council is meeting Tuesday morning as well, where North Korea is on the agenda.
The Council blasted the "highly destabilising behavior and flagrant and provocative defiance" of U.N. resolutions.
"The members of the Security Council agreed that the Security Council would continue to closely monitor the situation and take further significant measures including sanctions, in line with the Council's previously expressed determination," a press statement issued by the Council on Monday read.
