South Korea says North Korea fired a ballistic missile into the sea

People watch a television showing a news broadcast with file footage of a North Korean missile test, at a railway station in Seoul on January 6, 2025.

North Korea on Monday fired a ballistic missile that flew 1,100 kilometers (685 miles) before landing in waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan, South Korea's military said, extending its weapons testing weeks before Donald Trump returns as U.S. president.
