North Korea fires a missile toward the sea a day after it launched a spy satellite, South Korea says

South Korea says that North Korea has fired a ballistic missile toward the sea but that the launch likely failed.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said Thursday the North Korean launch was made from the North's capital region on Wednesday night.

It says the North Korean missile was believed to have failed but didn't elaborate.

The North Korean missile launch came a day after it launched a spy satellite. North Korea has claimed to have put the satellite into orbit.
