North Korea fired an unidentified projectile toward the East Sea (Sea of Japan) on Wednesday, according to South Korea’s military. 

The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) reported its detection of the projectile at 9:52 a.m. KST, while Japanese authorities made no announcements about the suspected missile. 

Wednesday morning’s launch is the DPRK’s fourth launch event in the last week, following tests of 600mm rockets and cluster warheads mounted on both ballistic and cruise missiles.
