North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile towards the sea off the east coast of the Korean Peninsula on Sunday, South Korea and Japan said, in the latest of a series of tests carried out by the nuclear-armed state since the start of this year.

Japan and the US also conducted joint air and sea military exercises over the sea between the Korean peninsula and Japan for a third straight day on Sunday, Japan’s local media reported.

In a statement on Sunday, G7 foreign ministers said they “deeply regret” inaction by the United Nations Security Council against the North caused by some members’ “obstruction.” “North Korea’s behaviour threatens international peace and security, and is unacceptable,” Japan’s State Minister of Defence Toshiro Ino told a news conference, adding that Japan had protested strongly via North Korea’s embassy in Beijing.

Pyongyang said Thursday’s ICBM launch was a warning against the US-South Korea military drills, state media KCNA reported.
