North Korea fired an unidentified projectile on Thursday, the South's military chiefs said, less than a week after its leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the test-firing of multiple rockets and a missile.
The projectile was fired at about 4:30 p.m. from the northwest location of Sino-ri, towards the east, the South's Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. It did not immediately release further details.
On Wednesday North Korea lashed out at the United States and South Korea, saying last week's strike drill was"regular and self-defensive" and rejecting the notion that it was an act of provocation. The area where Thursday's projectile was launched is believed to be the site of a medium-range Rodong missile base on North Korea's east coast, a Washington-based think tank, the Center for Stratetic International Studies, says.
