North Korea Fires Unidentified Projectile Toward Sea of Japan, South Korea Reports
North Korea fired an unidentified projectile toward the Sea of Japan on Saturday, according to South Korea's defense ministry. The launch follows a series of missile tests in August despite US President Donald Trump's plans to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un this year. South Korea and the US recently scaled back their joint military exercises, which North Korea has criticized as invasion rehearsals. North Korea's leader's sister condemned the reduction of drills as a punishment for Seoul's security policies.
