North Korea launches suspected ballistic missile toward eastern waters

• North Korea has launched a suspected ballistic missile toward its eastern waters today, South Korean and Japanese officials said. It comes a week after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed to bolster his nuclear arsenal at the fastest possible pace and threatened to use them against rivals.
• The launch, the North’s 14th round of weapons firing, also came six days before a new South Korean President takes office for a single five-year term.
