North Korea fires unidentified ballistic missile: Seoul's military

North Korea fired an "unidentified ballistic missile", Seoul's military said Wednesday, just days after its last test, and ahead of a visit to South Korea by US Vice President Kamala Harris.

"North Korea fired an unidentified ballistic missile into the East Sea," Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement, referring to the waters more commonly known as the Sea of Japan.
