North Korea on Saturday tested what appeared to be a submarine-launched ballistic missile in the Sea of Japan, the South Korean defence ministry said.
"North Korea launched a projectile which was believed to be a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) around 6:30 pm (0930 GMT) in the East Sea (Sea of Japan) near the northeastern port of Sinpo", a defence ministry spokesman said.
"We are keeping close tabs on the North Korean military and maintaining a full defence posture", he said.
The missile flew 30 kilometres (18 miles) but the launch "appeared to have failed," he added.
