South Korea’s joint chiefs of staff said it had detected the launch of an “unidentified projectile” from North Korea. It said the launch was assumed to be a long-range missile, possibly an ICBM fired on a “lofted” trajectory high into space, Yonhap news agency reported. Japan’s coast guard also said the launch could be a ballistic missile, adding that the projectile was expected to land inside Japan's exclusive economic zone about 50 minutes after its launch was first reported.
The US and South Korea have warned in recent weeks that North Korea may be preparing to test-fire an ICBM at full range for the first time since 2017.
