North Korea has fired at least one ballistic missile towards its eastern waters, according to South Korea's military. The launch adds to a series of weapons demonstrations by North Korea that have heightened tensions in the region. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff did not immediately provide further details on the missile launch.
Japan's coast guard issued a maritime safety advisory following the launch, indicating that North Korea had launched a possible ballistic missile. The coast guard later reported that the suspected missile had likely already landed, but cautioned ships to be vigilant for any fallen objects. Fortunately, there have been no reports of damage resulting from the missile launch.
