North Korea has fired an unidentified projectile eastward towards the Sea of Japan, according to South Korea's military.
The launch came after North Korea conducted seven rounds of missile tests, including the launch of an intermediate-range ballistic missile launch on January 30.
Sunday morning's launch would be the Kim Jong-un regime's eighth show of force this year.
Last month, North Korea said that it was lifting its yearslong self-imposed moratorium on nuclear and long-range missile tests suggesting it could engage in further provocative actions down the road.
The continued saber-rattling from Pyongyang comes amid a deadlock in nuclear talks with Washington.
Sunday's launch comes a month after North Korea fired a Hwasong-12 intermediate range ballistic missile, the largest weapon fired since 2017, in a test that capped a record month of mostly short-range missile launches in January.
Amid stalled denuclearisation talks with the United States, North Korea has suggested it could resume testing its longer range missiles or even nuclear weapons.
