North Korea reportedly launches another ballistic missile
KCNA/Handout
The launch is part of a string of test-firings in recent months as the North works to build a nuclear-tipped missile that could reach the United States.
The South's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that Tuesday's launch was made from North Korea's North Phyongan province. The joint chief's statement said the launch was immediately reported to South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
It wasn't immediately clear if this was a routine firing of a short-range missile or an attempt to perfect North Korea's longer range missiles.
The missile could have landed in Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), according to a Japanese defense official cited in a CNN report. Another Japanese official also corroborated the final destination of the missile, adding that it flew for 40 minutes before landing in Japan's EEZ.
According to defense experts, this would be the 13th long-range ballistic missile launch by the regime, and the fourth launch since Moon Jae-in took office.
