North Korea has fired an unidentified ballistic missile, according to South Korean officials.

The missile is reported to have flown east and South Korea is now working with US officials to analyse details of the missile, according to Yonhap news agency.

It's not yet known how far the missile went or if it flew over Japan, as several missiles launched earlier this year did.

The missile is reported to have been launched from Pyongsong, according to a statement released by South Korean military chiefs.

The country has launched a number of missiles in recent months, as well as making threats to both the US and Japan. It also tested a hydrogen bomb for the first time.
