North Korea launches unidentified projectile toward the sea, South Korea says

South Korea said North Korea has launched an unidentified projectile toward the sea.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the launch happened Wednesday but gave no further details, including what type of weapon was fired.

In recent weeks, North Korea has ramped up its weapons tests in a likely bid to increase its leverage in potential diplomacy with the U.S. after President Donald Trump expressed his desire to restore diplomacy with Kim Jong Un.
