The South Korean military confirmed it had detected a new missile launch. On Thursday, North Korea launched a short-range ballistic missile into the Yellow Sea, and on Friday leader Kim Jong-un ordered his military to step up military manoeuvres for what he called a real war during a missile firing exercise attended by his daughter.

Pyongyang recently accused the United States of deliberately stoking tensions, and Kim Yo-jong, Kim Jong-un's sister, the country's second most powerful person, warned that if the United States intercepted one of Pyongyang's missile tests it would be seen as a declaration of war.
