“Our military is tracking and monitoring related movements and maintaining a readiness posture,” South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff told reporters, according to Yonhap. The launch reportedly came from the Pyongyang area minutes after 12 noon.

 

The Japanese Coast Guard urged vessels traveling off Japanese coasts to stay away from any possible fragments.

 

The launch also comes days before newly-elected President-elect Yoon Suk Yeol takes office in South Korea.

North Korea has a history of raising animosities with weapons tests when Seoul and Washington inaugurate new governments.
