The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a statement that it detected the North’s launch around 7 a.m. local time from its west coast, Seoul-based Yonhap News reported.
However, the JCS did not provide further details to the media.
It was the third such cruise missile launch by North Korea in a week.
On Monday, North Korea said it tested a newly developed submarine-launched strategic cruise missile Pulhwasal-3-31 over the weekend.
Last week, North Korea announced that it had conducted the first test of the new type of strategic cruise missile “Bulhwasal-3-31.”
