SEOUL - North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile into its eastern waters, reported Xinhua, quoting South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) on Sunday.

The JCS said in a statement that it detected the launch from an area in or around Taechon, North Pyongan province at 6.53 am local time. It provided no further details immediately.

South Korea was maintaining a full readiness posture in close cooperation with the United States while strengthening surveillance and vigilance, according to the JCS.

The North Korean missile launch came two days after a US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier arrived in Busan about 390 km southeast of the capital Seoul for combined drills with the South Korean navy being planned to take place later this month. - Bernama
