North Korea Fires Ballistic Missile Towards Eastern Waters

North Korea launched a suspected ballistic missile toward its eastern sea, according to South Korea's military. The launch is the latest in a series of weapons tests by Pyongyang as diplomatic talks with the United States and South Korea remain stalled. The missile was fired from an inland area near the western county of Taekwan and flew across the country before landing in waters outside Japan's exclusive economic zone. The test continues to heighten regional military tensions.
