North Korea fires missile on eastward path; possibly ballistic

North Korea fired an unidentified projectile that flew in an eastward path and could be its first ballistic missile launch since it conducted a record barrage of tests in January.

South Korea’s military said its neighbor fired an unidentified projectile that flew eastward on Sunday morning. Japan’s Coast Guard said North Korea may have fired a ballistic missile and that the projectile had landed.

Further details were not immediately available. Kim Jong Un’s regime last fired a ballistic missile in late January, when it set off its biggest series of rocket tests since he took power a decade ago.
