SEOUL: North Korea fired an unidentified projectile on Thursday toward the sea to the east of the Korean Peninsula, South Korea’s military said. Japan’s government said Pyongyang had fired what could be a ballistic missile. The launch follows a series of tests this year, including short-range ballistic missiles, artillery rockets and other tactical weapons designed to bolster the isolated state’s military capabilities.

South Korea says North Korea has launched an unidentified projectile toward the waters off its east coast.
