North Korea fired a ballistic missile that landed in the East Sea, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Sunday.
The missile was launched at 11:05 a.m. from Tongchang-ri, North Pyongan Province, and traveled roughly 800 kilometers (497 miles).
The launch is the fourth to be carried out by the North since March 12. South Korea and the United States kicked off joint military exercises on March 13.
The exercises, which include the main Freedom Shield command post exercise as well as the first large-scale field training exercises since 2018, end on March 23.
The previous missile launch, which took place on Thursday, was that of a Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile, according to Pyongyang’s state-controlled media.
The launch took place the same day President Yoon Suk Yeol left for Tokyo for a summit with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, which was also the first summit in 12 years between the leaders of South Korea and Japan.
