N. Korea fires ballistic missile eastward: JCS

SEOUL, Sept. 18 (Yonhap) -- North Korea fired an unidentified ballistic missile eastward on Wednesday, South Korea's military said.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said it detected the launch but gave no further details, saying an analysis is under way.

The North test-fired a new 600mm multiple rocket launcher last Thursday, according to its state media.
