North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile into the sea off its east coast on Friday, South Korea’s military said, the latest in a series of launches by the nuclear-armed country amid heightened tensions.

North Korea's official KCNA news agency quoted the country's military as saying it took"strong military counter-measures" after South Korean artillery-fire drills on Thursday.North Korea's official KCNA news agency quoted the country's military as saying it took"strong military counter-measures" after South Korean artillery-fire drills on Thursday.

Seoul imposed its first unilateral sanctions against Pyongyang in nearly five years, blacklisting 15 North Korean individuals and 16 institutions involved in missile development. The unprecedented frequency of North Korea’s missile launches has raised concerns it may be preparing to resume testing of nuclear bombs for the first time since 2017.

“We will continue consulting closely with our allies and partners to monitor the DPRK’s destabilizing ballistic missile launches,” it said, referring to North Korea by the initials of its official name. KCNA quoted a spokesperson for the General Staff of the Korean People’s Army as saying the South Korean army had conducted about 10 hours of artillery fire near North Korea’s forward defense area on Thursday.

North Korea has called its most recent series of missile tests, which included an intermediate range ballistic missile that flew over Japan last week, a show of force against joint South Korean and US military drills.
