North Korea launched a “suspected ballistic missile” on Sunday, Japan’s Defense Ministry reported.

The news follows a wave of missile tests by North Korea, including the launch of a long-range ballistic missile on Thursday as the leaders of South Korea and Japan met in Tokyo.

The Japanese Coast Guard said in a statement released at 11:20 a.m. local time that the missile launched on Sunday appeared to have landed.

He warned all ships to wait for further information; do not approach fallen objects; and report any suspicious items.
