South Korea’s military said North Korea launched a ballistic missile on Monday, with the projectile flying toward the East Sea. The reported test is the latest in a string of weapons launches by Pyongyang, which has continued to expand pressure on the region through missile activity.

Officials in Seoul did not immediately disclose the missile’s range, flight path or whether it landed in the sea. The launch comes amid ongoing concern over North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs and the risk they pose to regional stability.

The event is likely to draw fresh condemnation from neighboring governments and renewed calls for restraint, as tensions on the Korean Peninsula remain high. Such launches also complicate diplomatic efforts aimed at limiting further escalation.

Reuters reported the development citing South Korea’s military, and more details may emerge as defense authorities assess the test.
