Reuters: North Korea test-fires ballistic missile into sea: South Korea military
North Korea fired a ballistic missile into the sea off its east coast early on Sunday, South Korea's military said, the first time the isolated state has tested such a device since U.S. President Donald Trump took office.
The missile was launched from an area named Panghyon in North Korea's western region just before 8 a.m. (2300 GMT Saturday) and flew about 500 kilometers (300 miles), the South's Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in statements.
"Our assessment is that it is part of a show of force in response to the new U.S. administration's hardline position against the North," the office said.
