SEOUL (Reuters – North Korea may have launched at most one ballistic missile against the ocean off the coast of its east coast Thursday. According to South Korea’s military and Japan, this was their first launch after a missile exploded in midair last week.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff claimed it saw a “unidentified” projectile being launched from North Korea.

Japan’s government confirmed the launch and suggested it might be a ballistic rocket.

According to South Korea, a North Korean missile appeared to have exploded shortly after it was launched in the sky above Pyongyang on March 16. This came amid reports that North Korea, a nuclear-armed nation, wanted to test-fire the largest yet.

South Korea and the United States have both warned North Korea that they may launch an intercontinental missile (ICBM), at full range, for the first time in 2017 against resolutions of United Nations Security Council.
