SEOUL, Oct. 12 (Yonhap) -- North Korea fired an unidentified projectile toward the East Sea on Monday, South Korea's military said.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff said it detected the launch, without elaborating.

The latest launch came after the North fired one ballistic missile from the Wonsan area toward the East Sea on Oct. 3.

North Korean state media reported the following day that its leader Kim Jong-un oversaw the launch of an intermediate-range strategic missile as part of efforts to train missile troops operating the "hypersonic strategic weapon system."

首尔，10月12日（韩联社）——韩国军方称，朝鲜周一向东海发射了一枚不明飞行物。

美国参谋长联席会议表示探测到了此次发射，但没有详细说明。

最新一次发射是在朝鲜于 10 月 3 日从元山地区向东海发射一枚弹道导弹之后进行的。

朝鲜官方媒体第二天报道称，其领导人金正恩视察了一枚中程战略导弹的发射，这是训练操作“高超音速战略武器系统”的导弹部队工作的一部分。
