North Korea on Tuesday launched an unidentified projectile off its east coast, the militaries of South Korea and Japan said, marking a second report of a missile launch in under a week.
Less than a week after North Korea fired what it claimed to be a “hypersonic” missile, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) sent out an alert of another launch.
JCS said in a media statement that the launch was detected around 7:27 a.m. from an inland area of North Korea toward the ocean off its east coast.
