North Korea fired a ballistic missile into the East Sea, the South Korean military said early Tuesday, El.kz cites Anadolu.
The launch came about two weeks after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un witnessed firing drills involving “super-large” multiple rocket launchers in the country's western region, according to state media.
Kim warned that if war breaks out, there will be "disastrous consequences."
The Japanese prime minister’s office also confirmed that North Korea launched a "suspected" ballistic missile, without sharing further information.
