South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed North Korea launched an unidentified projectile from the Pyongyang area on Tuesday. The projectile, believed fired in the morning, apparently failed shortly after. The launch came a day after President Lee Jae-myung expressed regret over drone flights by South Korean individuals into the North.
