North Korea has fired a ballistic missile from its eastern port of Sinpo into the Sea of Japan as the US and China are set to meet to discuss North Korea’s nuclear and missile programmes.
This has been confirmed by the South Korean Military to the BBC.
It is the latest in a series of tests which North Korea says is peaceful but the West fears is part of a programme to develop nuclear weapons.
The launch comes on the eve of a visit by China's President Xi Jinping to the US to meet President Donald Trump.
The two will discuss how to stop North Korea's nuclear and missile programmes.
North Korea is banned from any missile or nuclear tests by the UN.
Last month, North Korea fired four ballistic missiles towards the Sea of Japan.
