Around the same time that North Korea's ambassador to the UN spoke out against the hostile policies of the United States, the country fired a short-range missile into the sea.

This is the third round of arms exposures this month, just three days after North Korea reiterated its offer of conditional talks with South Korea.

Some experts said the latest missile test was likely to test South Korea's reaction, as North Korea needed Seoul to persuade Washington to relax economic sanctions and other concessions. it can go.

The South Korean government expressed regret over North Korea's launch of short-range missiles during an emergency meeting of the National Security Council.

Earlier, the South Korean military said something taken from North Korea's mountainous Jiangxi province had made its way into the waters off the east coast.

More details on the missile launch are being studied.

The US Indo-Pacific Command said the launch did not pose an immediate threat, but highlighted the destabilizing effects of North Korea's illicit weapons program.

Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said North Korea may have fired a ballistic missile and his government has stepped up its vigilance.

The ballistic missile launch violates UN Security Council sanctions on North Korea's ballistic activities, but the council generally does not impose new sanctions on North Korea for firing small arms.

The launch came after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's influential sister Kim Yoo Jong arrived in Seoul.

He said his country was ready to reconsider negotiations and reconciliation efforts if conditions were right.

He criticized Seoul for calling Pyongyang's previous missile tests provocative and demanded that it abandon unfair double-game standards and hostile policies.
