South Korea says North Korea has fired a ballistic missile off its east coast and it may have fallen inside Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone.
South Korea’s military says the North Korean launch happened on Thursday evening and the Japan Broadcasting Corporation says it is believed to have fallen inside Japan's EEZ.
The launch came after North Korea's military vowed an unspecified response after South Korean and US troops finished five rounds of large-scale live-fire drills near Korea’s heavily fortified border earlier today.
