What to know

  • North Korea fired an unidentified projectile, described by Japan as a suspected ballistic missile, into the East Sea on Sunday, Sept. 20.
  • It is the second launch in eight days, following a Sept. 12 short-range missile barrage Pyongyang called a joint firepower drill.
  • The launch comes days after North Korea rejected a UN nuclear watchdog resolution against its nuclear programme.
  • No missile type has been confirmed; the weapon reportedly fell outside Japan's exclusive economic zone, and diplomacy between Washington and Pyongyang remains stalled despite Trump's stated interest in meeting Kim Jong Un.
