North Korea has launched an unidentified missile which fell into the Sea of Japan.
The South Korean military reports that the missile was fired last night from the Tongchang‑ri region, near the North's border with China.
Last month North Korea said it had successfully test‑fired a new kind of ballistic missile in a launch supervised by leader Kim Jong‑un.
The nation is banned by the UN from any tests of missile or nuclear technology.
The test in February was condemned by the UN, the US, South Korea and Japan.
North Korea has repeatedly said its space programme is peaceful but it is believed to be developing an intercontinental ballistic missile that could strike the US.
