SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea has fired a ballistic missile into its eastern waters as it continued a recent streak of weapons tests apparently aimed at pressuring Washington and Seoul over a stalled nuclear diplomacy. The South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff didn’t immediately say what kind of ballistic missile it was or how far the weapon flew. Japan’s coast guard issued a maritime safety advisory to ships but didn’t immediately know where the weapon landed. The launch comes days before President Joe Biden’s special envoy for North Korea, Sung Kim, is scheduled to meet with U.S. allies in Seoul to discuss prospects for talks with North Korea.
