North Korea's latest provocative run of weapons tests.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staffs said the missile launched from near the North Korean capital Pyongyang flew toward the waters off the North's east coast. The statement described the missile as having a medium or longer range but didn’t say how far it flew.
South Korea and Japan typically don't issue evacuation orders for North Korean launches unless they determine weapons flew in the direction of their territories. Thursday’s launch came days after its leader Kim Jong-un vowed to enhance his nuclear arsenal in more"practical and offensive” ways. South Korean and US officials say their drills are defensive in nature and were arranged to respond to North Korea's growing nuclear and missile threats.
