North Korea fired an unidentified projectile toward the East Sea on Wednesday, the South Korean military said.

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

The latest launch came after the North fired a dozen short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea from the Wonsan area Thursday, less than a week after the South Korean military proposed military talks with Pyongyang over the inter-Korean border.

North Korean state media has reported that Pyongyang also tested a cluster bomb that can be mounted on tactical ballistic missiles Saturday. The South Korean military did not disclose its detection of the test.

韩国军方称，朝鲜周三向东海发射了一枚不明飞行物。

美国参谋长联席会议（JCS）表示探测到了此次发射，但没有详细说明。

在朝鲜周四从元山地区向东海发射了十几枚短程弹道导弹之后，韩国军方于不到一周前提议与平壤就朝韩边界问题举行军事会谈。

朝鲜官方媒体报道称，平壤周六还试射了一枚可挂载于战术弹道导弹上的集束炸弹。韩国军方并未透露其是否探测到此次试验。
