North Korea launched what appears to be a “short-range” missile on Tuesday morning, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said, with Japan's Ministry of Defense calling it a potential ballistic missile.
North Korea appears to have launched the missile eastward from an area near Jagang Province, Mupyong-ri, according to the JCS, adding that the South Korean military detected the launch around 6:40 a.m. Earlier in the morning, the JCS said North Korea fired the projectile toward the East Sea.
