The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said it detected an "unidentified projectile" launched by North Korea later in the day but did not provide further details. The JCS is currently analyzing the projectile.
The North's provocation came about a month after it ushered in the New Year with a missile launch on Jan. 4. as South President Lee Jae Myung was set to leave for Beijing for talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Tuesday's launch was the fourth such provocation since Lee took office in June last year and the second missile provocation of this year.
