Kim demands attention

South Korea’s military said on Thursday that North Korea had fired an unidentified projectile amid tensions with the U.S.

The South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff reported that the projectile was fired in an easterly direction from the northwestern town of Sino-ri, according to Reuters. It was believed to have traveled about 260 miles, the news service, citing a South Korean official who spoke on condition of anonymity, noted.

The Japanese defense ministry reportedly said there was no immediate threat to Japan’s security and that it had not detected any ballistic missiles in territorial waters.

“You don’t know what missile it is just from how far it flew,” Yang Uk, senior research fellow at the Korea Defence and Security Forum, told Reuters. “But one thing is clear - there’s no doubt that it is a missile.”

The report comes less than a week after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the firing of what the South called short-range projectiles, which were believed to have flown up to 125 miles. North Korea said Wednesday that its tests were not intended as provocations and were “regular and self-defensive.”
