South Korea’s Yonhap news agency confirmed the launch on Tuesday evening, a statement said: “North Korea fired an unidentified ballistic missile from South Pyongan Province early Wednesday, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
“The missile flew eastward and the South Korean military is analysing details with the US, it said.”

Their previous launch saw a rocket pass over Japan’s Hokkaido island.
It is unclear if the latest missile launch from North Korea travelled as far as their previous efforts did, earlier this year.
Reuters are reporting that US Government sources have confirmed the missile test.
Kim Jong-un’s latest launch comes hours after US Government sources also wanted a launch could make place “in the next few days”.
It also comes before planned military exercises between the US and North Korea.
North Korea’s state media have condemned the US and South Korea who are preparing to stage a large-scale operation between December 4-8.
KCNA said: “The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet warmongers plan to stage large-scale joint military exercises against the DPRK in the air and the sea from Dec. 4 to 8, according to the south Korean Yonhap News.
“The warmongers are going to let over 230 fighters with various missions of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces and the South Korean air force make sorties to the sky above south Korea from eight bases in Japan and South Korea in order to hold a war drill simulating an actual war.”
