North Korea conducts its ninth weapons test of the year, firing a suspected ballistic missile toward the sea to the east of the Korean peninsula just days before South Korea's presidential election
N.Korea has suggested it could resume testing of nuclear weapons or its ICBMs for the first time since 2017.
The launch was the ninth this year. The last was on February 27 when North Korea said it tested systems for a reconnaissance satellite. South Korea will "even more closely monitor North Korea's nuclear and missile-related facilities, such as Yongbyon and Punggye-ri", and take necessary measures, the NSC said.Japan's Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said the launch was "not acceptable".
The launch underscores the challenges facing whoever wins Wednesday's presidential election in South Korea.
