North Korea conducted another projectile launch into the East Sea this morning.
This is the regime's 11th launch this year... the previous one happening 22 days ago.
Our Defense Ministry correspondent Kim Ji-yeon is on the line.
Ji-yeon, what's the latest?
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff has confirmed that North Korea fired an unidentified projectile or projectiles into the East Sea on Wednesday.
The launch was from eastern coastal county of Wonsan in North Korea's Kangwon-do Province.
No other details were immediately known, including the number of projectiles fired... the projectile's type, flight range and maximum altitude.
Also the exact time of the launch or launches were not officially released.
Speaking of timing, the projectile launch comes a day after the North announced that it will hold working-level denuclearization talks with the U.S. this week... but it also comes a day after South Korea showcased its F-35A stealth fighter jets to the public for the first time at South Korea's 71st Armed Forces Day.
Up until now, the North had heavily criticized Seoul's acquisition of the F-35A fighter jets... which can accurately hit their targets and return home while avoiding radar detection.
It is believed that the North sees the F-35A jets as one of Seoul's most threatening weapons.
Meanwhile, citing Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga... Japan-based NHK reported that the recent launch were two ballistic missiles and that one of them landed outside Japan's exclusive economic zone in the East Sea and another one near Shimane Prefecture... at around 7:10 and 7:27 this morning.
That's all for now. I'll update you with the details as the story develops.
