SEOUL, South Korea \u2014 North Korea early Friday launched a short-range ballistic missile toward its eastern waters and flew warplanes near the border with South Korea, the South\u2019s military said, further raising animosities triggered by the North\u2019s recent barrage of weapons tests<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Korea\u2019s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement the missile lifted off from the North\u2019s capital region at 1:49 a.m. (12:49 p.m. EDT Thursday).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It said South Korea boosted its surveillance posture and maintains military readiness in close coordination with the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the latest in a series of missile launches by North Korea in recent weeks.
