KOREA — North Korea has fired a single long-range ballistic missile off its east coast, according to South Korea’s military, as leaders of both Japan and South Korea are in Lithuania for NATO summit meetings.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missile was launched from the area around the North’s capital, Pyongyang, at around 10 a.m. local time Wednesday.
The missile was in flight for about 74 minutes, according to Japan Coast Guard data, suggesting the long-range ballistic missile was flown in a lofted trajectory. That would mark the longest flight for a North Korean missile, Japanese media report, citing a defense ministry official.
