North Korea has fired a ballistic missile into the waters off the east coast of the Korean peninsula, according to officials in both South Korea and Japan.
The short range missile was fired early Sunday morning local time from the Taechon area of North Pyongan Province, according to South Korea's joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).
It said the South Korean and US militaries are maintaining "full readiness posture" and closely cooperating following the launch.

The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to two sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.
