SEOUL, Nov. 29 (Yonhap) -- North Korea fired a ballistic missile from an area north of Pyongyang early Wednesday, South Korea's military said.
"North Korea launched an unidentified ballistic missile eastward from the vicinity of Pyongsong, South Pyongan Province, at dawn today," the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
South Korean and U.S. authorities are analyzing the trajectory, it added.
It marked the North's first ballistic missile launch since Sept. 15, when it fired an intermediate ballistic missile.
