SEOUL， April 15 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Friday attempted to launch what is believed to be Musudan mobile ballistic missile into its eastern waters early in the morning， but the attempt appeared to have failed， South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.

A JCS official told Xinhua on the phone that the DPRK tried to launch an unspecified number of projectiles in its eastern region and the attempt was estimated to have failed.

The official declined to elaborate on the number， range and type of the projectiles， saying details would be made known after further analysis.

The projectiles are believed to have been mobile Musudan missile， which is allegedly capable of striking parts of the U.S. territory such as Guam and the outer reaches of Alaska.

South Korea's military had dispatched an Aegis-equipped destroyer to the East Sea to detect and track the possible launch of mobile Musudan missile at or around the so-called Day of the Sun.

The Day of the Sun is an annual public holiday in the DPRK that falls on April 15 to commemorate the birthday of Kim Il Sung， founder of the country and grandfather of current leader Kim Jong Un.

The DPRK had reportedly deployed one to two mobile Musudan missiles about three weeks earlier to its eastern Wonsan area.

If confirmed， it would mark the first time that Pyongyang test-fired Musudan missile and also the first time that the country launched ballistic missiles from a mobile launcher. Pyongyang is known to have deployed around 50 mobile Musudan missiles.

WASHINGTON, May 30 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Federal Reserve governor Lael Brainard said on Tuesday she expected the central bank to raise interest rate soon but will pay close attention to the weak inflation data.

Brainard Cheap Asics Gel Quantum 360 White , a long-time monetary policy dove, gave a positive assessment of both U.S. and global economies in her speech at the New York Association for Business Economics.

"With continued strength in the labor market, economic activity regaining momentum and a brighter outlook abroad Cheap Asics Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Blue Yellow , it would be appropriate soon to see the federal funds are moving closer to its neutral level," said the Fed governor in her speech.

She downplayed the weak economic performance in the first quarter, saying that economic growth is expected to rebound in the second quarter Cheap Asics Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Black White , because recent data, including residential construction, oil and gas drilling activity Cheap Men's Asics Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Black , and business investment, are sending "encouraging signs of strength" in the economy.

In addition to the solid economic fundamentals, U.S. financial conditions have been supportive for further gains in the real economy; the latest international economic data have suggested waning downside risks from abroad Cheap Asics Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 White , while continued labor market strength and the prospect for fiscal stimulus in U.S. present a possible upside risk to U.S. domestic demand, said Brainard.

She expected the Fed's interest rate hikes would be "well under way".

According to forecasts by Fed officials in March, the central bank will raise interest rates twice for this year after its hike in March. Market analysts widely expected the central bank to move up interest rate as soon as in June.

Brainard also expressed her support to reduce the central bank's 4.5-trillion-U.S. dollar balance sheet. "If the economy evolves in line with the March Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) median path Cheap Asics Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Footwear Gold , normalization of the federal funds rate is likely to be well underway before too long, setting the stage for a gradual and predictable running off of the balance sheet," said Brainard.

In spite of recent economic progress Cheap Asics Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Black Gold , Brainard expressed her concern over the weak inflation. "If the tension between the progress on employment and the lack of progress on inflation persists, it may lead me to reassess the expected path of the federal funds rate in the future," she said.
