North Korea has fired a ballistic missile in the first such test since US President Donald Trump took office.
The missile is believed to have splashed down into the sea between the Korean Peninsula and Japan, South Korean officials said.
There was no immediate confirmation from the North, which recently warned it was ready to test its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
The launch marks the first test of Mr Trump's vow to get tough on a North Korean regime, which last year tested nuclear devices and ballistic missiles at an unprecedented rate in violation of United Nations sanctions.
It also happened a day after Mr Trump held a summit meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and said he agreed to work to ensure a strong defence against North Korea's threat.
Mr Trump said late on Saturday (local time) that the United States stood fully behind Japan in the aftermath of North Korea's latest missile launch.
"I just want everybody to understand, and fully know, that the United States of America is behind Japan, our great ally, 100 per cent," Mr Trump told reporters alongside Mr Abe, who labelled the launch "absolutely unacceptable".
