South Korea said North Korea fired a ballistic missile toward its eastern seaboard, the latest in a series of weapons tests in recent days.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the launch was carried out early Sunday but did not give further details such as how far the weapon flew.
The Japanese government also said North Korea had fired a possible ballistic missile.
The launch, North Korea’s sixth weapons test in two weeks, came hours after the United States and South Korea concluded a new round of naval exercises off the east coast of the Korean Peninsula. The exercise involved a US aircraft carrier.
North Korea’s military warned on Saturday that the redeployment of the US aircraft carrier near the Korean Peninsula is causing “a significant negative flow” to regional security.
