North Korea has fired a ballistic missile off its east coast, South Korea's military said on Tuesday (local time), according to Reuters.
Other details, including the missile's flight range, were not immediately available.
The launch comes two days after North Korea test-fired two strategic cruise missiles from a submarine, ahead of joint military drills by the United States and South Korea which have angered Pyongyang.
On Sunday, North Korea said it has decided to take "important practical" war deterrence measures, adding "war provocations of the US and South Korea are reaching the red-line."
The North has upped the volume of its ballistic missile tests in recent months. The country tested dozens of ballistic weapons in 2022, including its first intercontinental ballistic missiles since 2017.
In January, North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile toward its eastern waters. Kim later ordered the development of new intercontinental ballistic missiles and massive production of tactical nuclear weapons to counter threats from the United States and South Korea.
In mid-February, North Korea tested a Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in a “surprise launching drill” under the written orders of leader Kim Jong Un. Days later, it test-fired four strategic cruise missiles during a drill designed to demonstrate its ability to conduct a nuclear counterattack against hostile forces.
