The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Thursday testfired what was believed to be an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) off its east coast, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.
In response to the DPRK's ICBM test-firing, the South Korean military launched five missiles from ground, sea and air off its east coast from 4:25 p.m. local time (0725 GMT), the JCS said in a statement.
According to the JCS, it detected one ICBM launched toward the eastern waters from the Sunan area in Pyongyang at about 2:34 p.m. local time (0534 GMT).
The missile was fired on a lofted trajectory, traveling about 1,080 km at a top altitude of over 6,200 km.
It marked the DPRK's first known ICBM test-launch in over four years since
