North Korea has fired a ballistic missile off its east coast, South Korea’s military said on Monday.
Japan’s Coast Guard said the projectile believed to be North Korea-fired missile has already fallen.
Other details, such as its flight range, were not immediately available.
The launch is the latest in a series of weapons tests by the North Korean communist regime, including the firing of multiple cruise missiles on Wednesday which Pyongyang said was aimed at practicing tactical nuclear attacks.
