SEOUL, Jan 14 (Bernama-dpa) -- North Korea has fired an unidentified projectile, the South Korean military said on Tuesday, reported German news agency (dpa).
North Korea launched the missile towards the East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan, South Korean news agency Yonhap cited the general staff in Seoul as saying.
The launch comes a week after North Korea launched what it said was a "new-type intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile".
North Korea is prohibited by UN resolutions from launching or even testing ballistic missiles of any range. These are usually surface-to-surface missiles that can also be equipped with a nuclear warhead.
Pyongyang has significantly expanded its missile tests over the past two years, while sharpening its rhetoric against the US and South Korea. It has also strengthened its military cooperation with Russia.
