The missile was launched near north-western Kusong, flying hundreds of miles then landing in the Sea of Japan.
Report say the latest missile test puts immediate pressure on South Korea’s President MOON JAE-IN, who campaigned on a platform of better engagement with the North.
A series of North Korean missile tests this year has sparked international alarm and raised tensions with the U.S.
Washington has accused other UN Security Council members of not fully enforcing existing sanctions against the North, and has urged China in particular to use its trade links as influence.
