SEOUL: South Korea’s military said it suspects North Korea fired a second missile this morning, after the North earlier launched a projectile that flew about 800 km (500 miles) and into the sea off its east coast.

The second missile launched soon after the first and from the same region near the North’s west coast disappeared from radar at an altitude of about 17km, the South’s Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.

Further analysis was needed to determine the nature of the second projectile, it said. South Korea’s Yonhap news agency said the second projectile may have disintegrated mid-air.
