North Korea has fired an unidentified projectile, South Korea’s military said, a week after its latest missile launch.
South Korea’s Office of Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that the projectile took off on Sunday afternoon from a location near Pukchang.
The missile flew about 500 kilometres and was believed to have landed in waters off its east coast, South Korea’s military said.
The Office of Joint Chiefs of Staff said South Korea and the United States were conducting close-up analysis of the launch.
“Our military is closely monitoring the North Korean military for any further provocation and maintaining readiness to respond,” South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.
