North Korea fires suspected ballistic missile into sea

North Korea on Saturday fired a suspected ballistic missile into the sea, according to its neighbors’ militaries, apparently extending its streak of weapons tests this year amid a prolonged freeze in nuclear negotiations with the United States.
"The missile was fired just as the international community is responding to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while also in the middle of the Beijing Paralympics. This is absolutely unacceptable."
Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said the missile likely landed outside the country’s exclusive economic zone, and that there were no immediate reports of damages to vessels. He said early assessments suggest the missile flew about 300 kilometers (180 miles) eastward at a maximum altitude of 550 kilometers (340 miles) before landing in waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
