EKO HOT BLOG reports that North Korea has fired an unidentified projectile toward the country’s east, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.

It is unclear how many projectiles were fired.

It comes just days after North Korea said it successfully test-fired a hypersonic missile on Tuesday, the third alleged test of such a weapon by the Kim Jong Un regime.

North Korea on Tuesday had said it launched a ballistic missile more advanced than the missile Pyongyang tested last week, reaching a velocity of more than 10 times the speed of sound.
