North Korea fires unidentified projectile, South Korea military says

North Korea fired an unidentified projectile off the country's west coast on Tuesday, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.

If confirmed as ⁠a missile launch, it would be the first since April 19, when North Korea test-fired several short-range ballistic missiles, which it said were equipped with cluster bombs.

In early April, Pyongyang also said it tested a new cluster-bomb warhead on ‌a ⁠ballistic missile and an electromagnetic weapon, in a move that analysts said was part of efforts to showcase the North's capacity ⁠to fight a modern war.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said in March that his ⁠country's status as a nuclear-armed state was irreversible and that expanding a "self-defensive ⁠nuclear deterrent" was essential to national security.
