South Korea said North Korea fired an unidentified projectile off the North’s east coast, the Yonhap News Agency reported. Yonhap cited South Korea’s military as saying the launch happened Thursday.
The reported launch happened a day after the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un shrugged off U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to scale back military exercises with South Korea in an apparent attempt to restore diplomacy.
Kim Yo Jong said the provocative nature of the drills hasn’t changed.
