North Korea Fires Missile Off Its East Coast - The Wall Street Journal

SEOUL—North Korea fired a suspected ballistic missile into waters off its east coast on Wednesday, South Korean and Japanese authorities said, the first such test in the new year.

The missile was launched around 8:10 a.m. local time from Jagang Province on the northern border with China before splashing into the waters between Korea and Japan, South Korea's military said. It flew about 310 miles and landed outside of Japan's exclusive economic zone, officials in Tokyo said. The flight path suggests North Korea launched a short-range ballistic missile.
