(CNN) The US intelligence community is trying to determine whether North Korea tested a ballistic missile with properties the US has not seen before earlier this week, according to three US officials. North Korea's launch of three ballistic missiles on Wednesday included one that flew an unusual trajectory, according to the officials. The missile had a flight path that two officials described as a "double arc" with the missile ascending and then descending twice. The second phase of the missile's possible "double arc" may have been a re-entry vehicle breaking off from the main missile. The US intelligence assessment of all three test launches is still in the preliminary stages, the officials emphasized.
