SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea fired a short-range missile toward waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan, a South Korean intelligence official said Tuesday, amid signs of progress in ending North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.
The North “fired the short-range missile around 3:30 p.m. (2:30 a.m. ET),” the South Korean official said, asking not to be named, citing the sensitivity of the issue.
He said the range of the missile is about 62 miles but did not give further details.
