It did not provide any further details, such as what type of missile was fired and what happened to it.
The launch was North Korea's first known weapons launch in more than two months. Earlier on Wednesday, South Korea announced that it had decided to partially suspend the inter-Korean agreement and resume flying surveillance aircraft over the border in response to North Korea's satellite launch. North Korea on Thursday criticized South Korea's move, saying it would deploy more powerful and new weapons on the border in a tit-for-tat action.
