North Korea attempted to launch a missile from its east coast on Tuesday morning but the release appears to have failed, told Reuters South Korean military officials.
The attempt took place around 05.20 Seoul time (2020 GMT Monday), the officials, who asked not to be identified said.
Japan put on alert on Monday its army for a possible launch of ballistic missiles from North Korea, NHK state broadcaster reported.
The South Korean news agency Yonhap said it appeared that North Korea had attempted to launch a medium-range missile Musudan. North Korea sought three times Musudan make a launch in April, which have failed as US and South Korean officials they said.
North Korea has so far failed to achieve a successful launch of Musudan, which in theory has a shooting range to reach any part of Japan or the US territory of Guam.
