North Korea fired an unidentified projectile Thursday afternoon Korean time, South Korea's Defense Ministry said, Eurasia Diary reports citing CNN.
If confirmed to be a missile test, it would be Pyongyang's 13th missile test since May.
The uptick in weapons testing comes amid increasing friction between North Korea and its main adversaries, South Korea and the United States. Nuclear negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang have been at an impasse for weeks, and North Korea recently stated it is no longer interested in holding talks with the US.
