US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and South Korea's Acting President Choi Sang-mok condemned the ballistic missile launch, calling it a violation of UN Security Council resolutions.
The missile launched by North Korea has raised tensions as it occurred simultaneously with significant diplomatic talks between US and South Korean leadership in Seoul.
South Korea's military detected a ballistic missile launch, which flew about 1,100 km before landing in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
The missile launch is particularly noteworthy given that North Korea has been quiet in recent weeks amid a political crisis involving a failed coup attempt in December.
