- North Korea reportedly fired a ballistic missile that is headed eastward.
- The launch comes amid rumors that North Korea would conduct a missile test "within days."
North Korea has reportedly fired a ballistic missile, according to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff in a Yonhap News report Tuesday.
The unidentified missile reportedly flew from South Pyongan province and was headed eastward, according to the Joint Chiefs.
"North Korea launched an unidentified ballistic missile eastward from the vicinity of Pyongsong, South Pyongan Province, at dawn today," the Joint Chiefs said in Yonhap News.
The latest incident comes amid indications that North Korea would conduct a missile test "within days." Arms experts from the US reportedly received evidence from Japan that North Korea was preparing for a new missile test.
A Japanese government official on Tuesday said that the country had detected radio signals indicating North Korea may have been preparing for another ballistic missile launch, according to Reuters. The signals; however, were reportedly inconclusive, given that satellite images did not show new activity and that the regime has been proven to deliberately send misleading signals of an imminent launch.
North Korea's previous missile test, in mid-September, raised alarms after it flew over Japan.
