North Korea Missile
North Korea fires missile: South Korea
Seoul/Pyongyang: South Korean military on Tuesday said North Korea has fired a short-range missile towards the sea off its east coast early on Tuesday, media reports said.
The missile was fired from the North's Mupyong-ri in Jagang Province eastward at around 6:40 a.m., South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) told Yonhap News Agency.
The launch came three days after Kim Yo-jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, said that Pyongyang could declare a formal end to the Korean War as suggested by the South and even discuss the possibility of a summit on conditions that Seoul drops its double standards and hostile attitudes against it, resorts Yonhap News Agency.
Meanwhile, Japan said the missile fired by North Korea was ballistic.
