North Korea fires missile into ocean in its latest weapons launch, South Korea says

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea says North Korea has fired a ballistic missile off the North’s east coast. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff says the launch occurred Monday but gave no further details, such as how far the missile flew. The launch is the latest in a series of missile tests by North Korea in recent months. North Korea announced Saturday that it tested a “super-large” cruise missile warhead and a new anti-aircraft missile in a western coastal area on Friday.
