SEOUL: North Korea fired a ballistic missile toward the sea off its east coast on Saturday (Oct 3), South Korea and Japan said, its latest missile launch this year that came a day after it rejected Seoul's accusation of its mines wounding soldiers.
The missile was launched from the Wonsan area at around 6.30am on Saturday (5.30am Singapore time) and flew more than 700 kilometres, the South Korean military said in a statement. Seoul and Washington were analysing the test for details, it added.
Japan's coast guard, in an emailed statement citing the Japanese defence ministry, said the object may have been a ballistic missile and appeared to have come down, warning ships to take precautions.
South Korea's military said it has raised its monitoring of any further missile tests and will share intelligence with the US and Japan.
The South Korean presidential office's national security council convened an emergency meeting on Saturday to assess the situation after the missile launch, the office said in a statement.
