SEOUL: North Korea has fired a short-range missile towards the sea off its east coast early on Tuesday morning, BBC reported.
The test happened as North Korea’s ambassador said at the UN that no-one could deny Pyongyang’s right to self-defense and to test weapons.
Earlier this month Pyongyang test-fired both ballistic and cruise missiles.
The US military said in a statement on Tuesday that it was aware of the missile launch but that it posed no immediate threat to US personnel or its allies.
