The device, possibly a ballistic missile, landed in the East Sea.
North Korea launched a projectile Tuesday that may be a ballistic missile days before U. S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are scheduled to meet in Florida.
South Korean military officials said the unidentified projectile was fired from North Korea’s Sinpo region into the East Sea, according to South Korea’s Yonhap News.
North Korea’s nuclear program is likely to be a top agenda item when Trump and Xi meet at Trump’s resort in Florida this week. Measures to deal with the hermit nation are likely to cause tension between the two leaders.
