North Korea launches ballistic missile into sea, South Korea says
Earlier, South Korea's military said it scrambled fighter jets when a group of about 10 North Korean military aircraft flew close to the border dividing the two countries, amid heightened tensions over repeated North Korean missiles tests.
The South Korean JCS statement said the aircraft incident happened late on Thursday and early Friday Korean time. KCNA quoted a spokesman for the General Staff of the Korean People's Army as saying that the South Korean army had conducted about 10 hours of artillery fire near North Korea's forward defense on Thursday.
"The KPA sends a stern warning to the South Korean military inciting military tension in the frontline area with reckless action," it added.
