The agency cited the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff, which stated that it had detected the launch but did not provide details.

North Korea launched an unidentified projectile toward the Sea of Japan on Saturday, the South Korean news agency Yonhap reported.

The agency cited the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff, which said it detected the launch but did not provide details.

North Korea fired a volley of missiles toward the sea in August, even after remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump, who said he planned to meet later this year with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
