N. Korea fires unidentified projectile toward East Sea: JCS

By Lee Minji

SEOUL, April 8 (Yonhap) -- North Korea fired at least one unidentified projectile toward the East Sea on Wednesday, South Korea's military said.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff said it detected the launch, without providing further details.

The launch came just a day after the North fired another unidentified projectile from the Pyongyang area Tuesday.

The back-to-back launches also came after President Lee Jae Myung expressed regret over drone flights by individuals into the North on Monday.

The North last fired multiple ballistic missiles toward the East Sea on March 14 as annual springtime military drills by South Korea and the United States were under way.
