North Korea has launched an intermediate-range ballistic missile toward the sea to its east. South Korea’s military said the missile flew approximately 1,100 kilometres before landing in the water between the peninsula and Japan. South Korea has condemned the launch as another provocation that threatens peace and stability in the region. The launch comes as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visits Seoul for talks with South Korea’s key leaders.
