▲ The Korean Central News Agency reported on October 4 that North Korea conducted a test-fire drill of an intermediate-range strategic missile into Donghae from its eastern region early in the morning of October 3, with State Affairs Commission President Kim Jong-un observing.
North Korea fired an unidentified projectile toward Donghae on the morning of Monday, October 12, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.
The JCS is analyzing the specifications and flight range of the projectile.
If the projectile is confirmed to be a ballistic missile, it would mark a launch nine days after its previous one.
Japan's Ministry of Defense announced that North Korea fired what appeared to be a ballistic missile and that it seems to have already fallen.
