North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile Sunday afternoon, which flew
more than 500 kilometers, the North's second missile launch in a week,
South Korea's military announced.
President Moon Jae-in immediately ordered a National Security Council meeting to discuss the communist neighbor's provocation.
"North
Korea fired an unidentified ballistic missile in the eastern direction
at around 4:59 p.m. from the vicinity of Pukchang in Pyeongannam-do
(South Pyeongan Province)," the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a
statement.
A JCS official said on background that it traveled at the maximum altitude of around 560 km.
He added it appears similar to Pukguksong-2, a new intermediate-range ballistic missile.
The
US Pacific Command (PACOM) said the missile landed in the East Sea and
characterized it as a "medium range" ballistic missile.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
