North Korea launched at least one missile Oct. 2, a day after it agreed to restart talks with the U.S. over its nuclear program, media reports said.
The projectile was believed to be a submarine-launched ballistic missile fired near the port city of Wonsan on the eastern side of North Korea, Yonhap News Agency reported, citing South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Meanwhile, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Pyongyang fired a missile that then split into two, one of which landed inside Japan's exclusive economic zone, Reuters reported.
The reported missile launch comes a day after North Korea's First Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui announced that Pyongyang and Washington will restart working-level nuclear talks the week of Sept. 30.
A February summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un concluded without an agreement on how to end Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programs.
