North Korea fires yet another Ballistic Missile

North Korea has fired what appears to be a ballistic missile, reports from South Korea say.

The missile was fired from a region near its west coast, Yonhap news agency reported.

North Korea has carried out a series of missile tests this year, increasing tensions with the US.

Pyongyang has accelerated its nuclear and missile tests in recent years, despite international condemnation and UN sanctions.

Two missile tests last month both failed.
