(Bloomberg) — North Korea launched an unidentified projectile Monday, South Korea’s defense ministry said in a text message.
A missile launch would break a more than three-month lull in missiles tests by the country. While the nature of the projectile fired wasn’t immediately clear, it’s the first such provocation since North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said Dec. 31 that he was no longer bound by his self-imposed freeze on major weapons tests.
